Michel Dalle Ave - L’Île Madame (Dedicated to Blaise Laflamme) (4:06)
<aside> 💡 fFor this week I do a bit different... about a week ago a french composer, Michel Dalle Ave, dedicated me a nice little piece in the folk/finger style that got published by Oz, I could not resist to quickly record it. Here we go…

<aside> 💡 While surfing YT, I came across a video of Edson Lopes playing this piece, and it really struck me. I can't find out anything about the composer. There are several performances of his pieces on YT, but a Google search on his name gives me nothing about him. (There is an actor with the same name, but I suspect they are not one and the same person.) Has anybody heard of him?
According the score (attached), the music is arranged for guitar by Howard Heitmeyer. I don't know the original setting. Maybe it's a song?

<aside> 💡 How soon do these weeks come around! I was hoping to do more on Week 3 and here we are in week 4 already. I had a couple of hours spare this morning so managed to do a couple of recordings. Here is the first. It's a simple but lovely little piece by the English guitarist and composer and teacher Yvonne Bloor. It's called Chanson and was written in about 2010. in addition to the squeaks from the fingerboard the audio is enhanced in places with the sound of a creaking door.
I messed up the coda originally and rerecorded it and added it to the end of the original recording - you can hear the gap!
