This is not respecting people.</p> <p>  </p> <p> I want to record this album with real musicians, giving some genuine organic feel and a real and honest music. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2F5LG_8lt9Ljc%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D5LG_8lt9Ljc&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F5LG_8lt9Ljc%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>ABOUT THE PROJECT :</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> This album will be a 10 or 12 tracks project, containing half of my own compositions, based on pop, blues, country and Indian music and the other half will be covers of songs treated in a complete different ways.</p> <p>  </p> <p> The blues is great and there will be some of this genre of music, but I want to this album to explore melodies and improvisations around inspirations coming from Pink Floyd, Jazz, Celtic music, pop songs. I"m obsessed with melodies </p> <p>  </p> <p> I know I play diatonic harmonica, I know I'm not young and as attractive as I used to, but if you check me out on Youtube you'll be surprised of the vast variety and charge of emotion that this instrument can do. </p> <p>  </p> <p> I want this Album being extremely well produced form the choice of musicians to the mastering, that's why I'm asking the 8000 euros to fund this project, we will need to hire the best to pull this off. </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Invited by Melody Gardot at the Alhambra in Paris</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2Fnbel74QCBgc%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3Dnbel74QCBgc%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2Fnbel74QCBgc%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="01_2-1446466331" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/247156/01_2-1446466331.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p> <iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="304" src="//cdn.embedly.com/widgets/media.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FndWq-4Etnl4%3Fwmode%3Dopaque%26feature%3Doembed&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DndWq-4Etnl4%26feature%3Dyoutu.be&amp;image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FndWq-4Etnl4%2Fhqdefault.jpg&amp;key=ff2702755d9749cda571c6d6c2f3eb46&amp;type=text%2Fhtml&amp;schema=youtube" width="540"></iframe></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p>
