Track 1, which features the legendary Octobass, was recorded at la Maison Symphonique de Montreal in the same fashion. The Octobass is the lowest-pitched and largest-sized instrument of the string family. At a height of almost 11.5 feet, this instrument produces extreme low bass extension harmonics: down to 20 Hz with a peak of 28 Hz.
Tracks 2-9 of the album were recorded off the floor at St-Jean Baptiste Chapel in Montreal, Canada. This Analog Recording was made on a quarter-inch Nagra IV-S analog recorder in master eq curve, with no overdubs or editing. A single Fidelio stereo Tube microphone RL-1 was used in the Pure Blumlein microphone technique.
Frédéric Alarie amazes by the colour, depth, and audacity he puts forward in his work. As a musician, composer, or soloist, he constantly pushes the limits of both his own expression and of Jazz itself.
A member of the Lorraine Desmarais trio since 1993, he has recorded on 34 albums as an accompanist and soloist. He has played on hundreds of other albums as a guest artist with several of these albums having received awards.
