UZEB - Après les confidences

Recorded at salle Wilfrid Pelletier of Place des Arts
July 6, 1991 During the 12th edition of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal

Le phénomène UZEB, plus de 300 000 copies vendues en Europe, s'explique de différentes façons : Ils arrivent en 1982 au moment où l'environnement musical de la fusion est en pleine interrogation.UZEB apporte des réponses basées sur les nouvelles technologies Midi montrant ainsi la voie à toute la jeune génération de musiciens.D'autre part, l'attitude musicale de UZEB, qui allie les grandes traditions du blues, du jazz et du rock à l'intérieur des spectacles et des disques, riches en technicité et trouvailles, propulse le groupe à l'avant-garde de la recherche musicale et sonore. Pour finir, le public s'identifie à UZEB car c'est l'un des derniers grands groupes en exercice et le ralliement est total.




There are several ways to explain the UZEB phenomenon (over 300 000 copies sold in Europe). First, they tumed up in 1982 at a time when the fusion movement expressed doubts and anguished over its future. UZEB came up with answers based on the new Midi technology demonstrating a new alternative to a whole generation of musicians.On the other hand, UZEB's musical stance combined blues, jazz and rock traditions in concert or on record with amazing technique and new ideas. This established the group firmly in the avant-garde of musical progress.To conclude, we can say that the public supported UZEB because it was one of the last great groups that was still active and continued to maintain its innovative creativity.

The technology is called 'MIDI' (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), which translates sound into a digital signal that can be used to initiate triggering of devices that contain stored 'samples' of actual instruments, such as flutes, strings, horns, or whatever... Thus, a bass can be made to "sound like" a flute.

@Childofarctica ouai, M6 à l'époque passez de la super sique, c'est tombé très bas, plus bas que terre...

Une magnifique version concert, a magnificent live version of this marvelous slow. To add to the debate on the midi instruments, in the case of guitars or bass, they have the two possibilities :

- acoustic (amplified by the mikes)

- midi (the play on the strings triggers sounds through the sensors)

there were different technologies : mikes, infra-red, piezzo...

@HandMane He's using a midi pickup through a synth. In this way you can obtain every sound you want. There are a lot of musicians that use midi devices. I think that is the best way to use electronic into music : you can play without the instruments limits !

[HandMane]

Why does if he plays the bass i hear a flute sound?? It's recorded or he does that sound with the bass indeed
