Beside his guitarist\u2019s undeniable qualities, Nicolas Guay show us with this recording the full range of the ecclectism of his musical universe, of his career as a musician and of his influences, with in particulary songs composed in Roland Dyens\u2019s memory (prelude in G minor), Paco de Lucia (sonata 2) or again Steve Lukather, legendary guitarist from Toto(Pop Fantasy which begins the album). A whole universe in which we find great pleasure to listen to, even if you are not a guitarist, and whose originality and richness are remarkable. Notice that we can listen to this CD as a soundtrack of a movie as the booklet contains a part of a scenario and a storyboard, proposing a different way of listenning. &#8220;<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Pascal Proust &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guitareclassiquemag.fr\/\">Guitare Classique Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Campanas de la Esperanza<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 39px;\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; padding-top: 20px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-547\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nicolas-guay.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/cd_campanas_de_la_esperanza.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nicolas-guay.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/cd_campanas_de_la_esperanza.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.nicolas-guay.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/cd_campanas_de_la_esperanza-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nicolas-guay.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/cd_campanas_de_la_esperanza-333x300.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>Guitar, compositions : <b>Nicolas Guay<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Percussions :<b> Isma\u00efl Mesbahi<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Length : <b>43&#8217;54&#8221;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Label :<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adelieprod.com\/\"><b>Ad\u00e9lie prod<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cd1d.com\/campanas-esperanza-p-16368.html\"><b>-&gt; Buy the CD<\/b><b><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>La Cancion de Lausanne &#8211; 4&#8217;55<\/li>\n<li>Oc\u00e9anic visions &#8211; 10&#8217;30<\/li>\n<li>Homenaje a Manuel de Falla &#8211; 6&#8217;11<\/li>\n<li>Prologue et Toccata &#8211; 8&#8217;52<\/li>\n<li>Camapanas de la Esperanza\n<ul>\n<li>Thema &#8211; 4&#8217;47<\/li>\n<li>Plainte &#8211; 3&#8217;36<\/li>\n<li>Final &#8211; 5&#8217;03<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>NEMA &#8211; Heaven Way<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 502px;\" width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_148\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148\" style=\"width: 380px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-148\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nicolas-guay.fr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/cd-nema-front.jpg\" alt=\"Photo de l'album Nema\" width=\"380\" height=\"342\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nicolas-guay.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/cd-nema-front.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.nicolas-guay.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/cd-nema-front-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nicolas-guay.fr\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/cd-nema-front-333x300.jpg 333w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 380px) 100vw, 380px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-148\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nema<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/td>\n<td>Guitar, compositions : <b>Nicolas Guay<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Piano : <b>Jo\u00ebl Clemen<\/b>t<\/p>\n<p>Double bass, artistic direction : <b>Franck Girard<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Drums : <b>Philippe Bostvironnois<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Length : <b>56&#8217;06<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www4.fnac.com\/Shelf\/article.aspx?PRID=1419929\"><b>-&gt; Buy the CD<\/b><b><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>-&gt; You can buy the DVD on <\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.docdvdonline.com\/\"><i>docdvdonline<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Gibraltar (Tribute to Vicente Asencio) (Nicolas Guay) &#8211; 8&#8217;58<\/li>\n<li>Funky trip (Nicolas Guay) &#8211; 4&#8217;55<\/li>\n<li>Quartal (Nicolas Guay) &#8211; 8&#8217;45<\/li>\n<li>Obsession (Nicolas Guay) &#8211; 6&#8217;42<\/li>\n<li>Flamencotille (Nicolas Guay) &#8211; 11&#8217;37<\/li>\n<li>Heaven way (Tribute to Led Zeppelin) (Nicolas Guay) &#8211; 16&#8217;39<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><i>&#8220;Nema: amen spelt backwards. By chance or by design that the name of this group evokes\u00a0\u00a0 liturgical vocabulary. Four musicians &#8211; guitar, piano, double bass and drums- hardened although unknown to the public, coming from different musical chapels &#8211; jazz, traditional, contemporary &#8211; decide one day to meet&#8230; What comes from it? A crossbreeding, perhaps several, which you won\u2019t risk arranging in a precise category.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>The album begins and concludes with tributes, the first to the pianist and Spanish professor of composition Vicente Asencio, the second to the rock of Led Zeppelin! Besides, the fans of the group to the airship will have fun finding the composers who inspired this last title &#8220;Heaven Way&#8221;. Elsewhere, some will evoke the influences of the Cuban Ruben Gonzalez (&#8220;Flamencotille&#8221;) or of the French Erik Satie (&#8220;Obsession&#8221;). &#8220;Funky Trip&#8221; finally reminds us that funk is a mixture of rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll and very rhythmic jazz.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Nema travels not only from one culture to another but also between contrasted ambiences: from serenity to concern, joke to anger and meditation to frenzy. The instruments do not only produce melodies, but also express their moods with a pretty sturdy character.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Would this be paradise for all or a creation reserved for an elite music lover?\u00a0 Communion with such a UFO is not obvious. A jazz feeling seems necessary, while a taste for progressive rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll will help to appreciate certain lengths rather than to undergo them. You cumulate both? You will receive Heaven Way as blessed bread. You have neither one, nor the other, but a thirst for discovery without blinkers? Convert! The mass is said, amen.<\/i>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Julien Weyer &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/critiques-ordinaires.ouvaton.org\/article.php3?id_article=184\">Critiques ordinaires<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<i>The Nema array is a superb creation, with compositions by Nicolas Guay being piercingly efficient. The direction of each individual piece is skillfully led toward conclusive progression, as successive solo interpretations from the four musicians, are intelligently related, and musically weld-on together.<\/i><i><br \/>\n<\/i><i>Virtuosity is not the only ingredient, as poetry and finesse are equally shown. From Gibraltar, with echoes of d\u2019Aranjuez, to the homage of Led Zep\u2026 not forgetting the explosive Funky Trip, or the terrific Quartal or further still, the haunting Obsession; and how about Heaven Way.
