Philippe Crab - Coucouville

Coucouville is an album with three sides: the middle side (side B), the long song "bois de v", separates two quintets of songs (sides A and C) which communicate at a distance, the 1 speaking to the 11, 2 to 10, and so on until the central maelstrom. In this miniature bardo, Crab, with his two children and a great friend, recounts the passage or the interval between silence and song. "The imminence of a roar swells the vacant ocean of silence". However, multiple melodies emerge and intertwine at every moment in a lianescent harmony of guitars, trumpets, clarinets, bass and percussion, a vibrant soul soars in music towards the clouds of Coucouville, the happy land of singing birds.
