The long-awaited interpretation of Le Lay d e l'Ymage- never recorded before! - is the most beautiful songof the 14th century you will hear this year!. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . To begin anew - to return, once more, to a moment in history, to a timelong past; to approach the music and poetry of Guillaume de Machault,at the heart of the 14th century. To draw near - to a work, in order toreread it, once more.To imagine - to consider it in the light of the times we live in; its gears,its tragedies, its hopes as well. To seek - the beauty of a sublime music, too often forgotten, that letsus feel the gentle modal sweetness of a distant West in time. One mustalways take a step back and look again, to see what a poetic and musical tradition of old might contain, with fresh eyes and ears - as eachgeneration must - to immerse oneself in it with care. It is not by clingingtoo tightly to the present that we can hear the chant of our own time.To seek an image that might be a mirror, a reflection of extreme beautyand tenderness, and offer it to our age - with the aim of rediscoveringthe mysteryŠ Thus was born the great desire for the boxed set of L'Ymage, the newdouble album by Michaël|le Grébil Liberg - a co-production betweenSub Rosa and Thödol Records. At the heart of the box is an exclusive & complete interpretation of theLay de l'Ymage. The repertoire of Machault's lais is very rarely performed,and this album offers a rare opportunity to hear this unique and particularform, one that unfolds across an extended period of time; an experienceof duration, at a time when brutality and acceleration are shrinking oursense of Time. To draw close to a music that lets us hear nuance, doubt,and above all - dulcitude. For it is dulcitude is what we shall speak of, timeand again, in the music we are approaching. To nourish Machault's musicwith all of this, in the attentive spirit of our time - may well cause a flowerto bloom in the garden of listening, and perhaps, an ymageŠ On the fringes of the Lay de l'Ymage, are two other pieces.One opens the album, a piece where l'envers vaut l'endroit (Backward'sworth forwards) - as the filmmaker Jean Epstein once said - the polyphonic rondeau Ma Fin est mon Commencement instrumentally reimagined incollaboration with Clara Levy & Stéphane Clor. At the other end, there is a Hörbild, a book of sound images in the orthogonal lineage of german hörspiels, aural cinema & radio poems - an intertwinedform where music, distant voices, and field recordings allow us to hear some Oyseaulx d'AvrylŠ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Guillaume de Machault was a prominent 14th-century French poetand composer. His works are recognized for their intricate polyphony and innovative lyrical forms, influencing the development of medieval poetryand music. His style incorporated both secular and sacred themes,showcasing the emotional depth and complexity of human experience.His legacy extends beyond his lifetime, impacting later poets and musiciansin France and England, including notable figures like Geoffrey Chaucer.As a master of both music and poetry, Machaut's contributions were instrumental in shaping the narrative and lyrical traditions of the MiddleAges. He passed away in Reims around 1377, leaving behind a rich bodyof work that continues to be studied and appreciated today. What's in the box?Medieval Ars nova meets dark folk, aural cinema,contemporary music, drone and much moreŠ Anastonishing album gathering three extended piecesthat unfold t h e works o f polyphonic music geniusGuillaume de Machaut, the greatest and last of thetroubadours. Lovingly recorded by sound master Frederic Alstadt,featuring Clara Levy, Stéphane Clor & Eugénie DeMey, this album captures all the poignancy and poetryof this timeless music. A passionate performance byvirtuosic musical lover Michaël|le Grébil Liberg onlabels Sub Rosa & Thödol.
