Last year she also played on Etienne "Zombie Zombie" Jaumet's album "Night music" - an appropriate collaboration.By the way it seems like Get Back is going to re-release the first two lp's of Veronique Chalot next months (vinyl only, apparently, grrr).

how is her new album? the title track, at least, is mesmerizing. it seems like the perfect thing capture the hearts of people who liked "Topaze" but I wouldn't even mind if some of the other material was less out-there in the vein of much of the rest of Maison Rose.
her producer and romantic partner Bruno Menny was doing some old school Tangerine Dream-y synth stuff in the early '70s before he worked on Maison Rose. I haven't heard his album all the way through yet but it seems interesting.

Menny also worked with Malicorne around the same time.

favorite overtly electronic Menny / Malicorne moment = that vocal choral cut-up loop on La Blanche Biche
I listened to it when I got it last month a little distant from it -- but it's good that it is not even trying for the same sense of mysticism or mystery, the production is very modern and upfront. The second track is a blues number that kicks off a very different, less pastoral vibe from the outset. Three weeks later I listened again and I've been playing it quite a few times since then. Once I got over expectations of this being a sequel, her voice sounds timeless, the songwriting is beautiful, and she still completely flips out on hurdy gurdy on more than a few tracks

Got this lp last week. Maison Rose. The Lion version of the cd is very nice sound. Odd details catch your attention, hurdy gurdy lines appearing as though out of the mist.
bet it's a cliche to compare it to Alain Stivell meets Linda Perhacs.

I think it was this thread that I found on google and lead me to this site in the first place too. Don't know why it's taken me til now to buy the disc.

is anyone else familiar with Valentin Clastrier? his "Migration" suite (spaced-out, longform hurdy gurdy piece) reminds me a bit of Emmanuelle Parrenin:

(and it's literally the only thing I've heard by him, so I'd welcome any recommendations)

("spaced-out" probably not the best description for something so vigorous, but ykwim)

Valentin Clastrier's self-titled album from last year is highly recommended for fans of avant-hurdy-gurdy music. his pieces are more like Indian ragas than trad folk songs, and his use of an effects pedal on a few tracks (the opener and closer + "Vents Solaires") is unique and unnerving. his hurdy gurdy is a custom-built, 27-stringed, electric-acoustic monstrosity, as he demonstrates here:

Nice stuff. She also has a RSD 12" with Etienne Jaumet coming out on a French record store's label:

The album she put out last March is quite something: https://johnkoolrecords.bandcamp.com/album/targala-la-maison-qui-nen-est-pas-une. Jazzier/global and less medieval than Maison rose (I haven't heard anything else by her), but definitely of a piece with it
