Over the long run, Canada has been known more for its comedians than for its musicians. Sure, there's Neil Young, and former bubble gum princess turned teen angst queen Alanis Morrisette is from up north, as are the recent handful of fine indie acts like Broken Social Scene, Great Lake Swimmers, and Junior Boys. But those interwoven musician collectives aside, lately there's been a relative shortage of good music from the country some consider America's hat. Enter Elsieanne Caplette, possibly the greatest voice Montreal has ever produced, and the harmonic soul of Elsiane (yes, sans an n), the band formed by the Peruvian-raised vocalist and drummer Stephane Sotto.
When writing about Elsiane, a mention of Bjork seems almost inevitable; just like her Icelandic counterpart, Elsiane treats her voice more like an expressive, adaptable instrument than most traditional vocalists. Using her voice in a very cinematic way, Elsiane manages to paint a very colorful picture with her own human expression. Imagine a steady, yet jazzy beat, infused with a good hook and a catchy melody; even if you've heard similar sounds a thousand times before, with Elsiane's vocals on top even the most commonly trafficked light-listening music is taken to new heights. Like a hit of some tundra-grown stimulant, Elsiane's voice goes beyond complimenting the music to the point of enhancing it. All of a sudden you can see the jazzy beat; you don't just hear it anymore, you can actually feel the hook, and you can taste the melody. See what I'm getting at? Elsiane has a REALLY good voice.
Hybrid is Elsiane's debut album. Until a few weeks ago it had only been available in Canada, but thanks to the wonders of the interweb has now made its way Stateside. There are 11 tracks on the album, each of which strong enough that after repeated listens it remains impossible to pick a favorite. One minute the opening tune, "Vaporous," sounds like the most magical collection of notes ever assembled, only to be dethroned by "Mend (To Fix, To Repair)" the next.
Canada in general, and Montreal in particular, have 11 more reasons to be proud; not only can they claim Dan Aykroyd, Jim Carrey, and Eugene Levy as part of their cultural heritage, they can also proudly nudge Leslie Feist aside and claim Elsiane as one of Canada's truly great artists. Hopefully everyone beyond the shadow of the Maple Leaf will get a chance to hear Hybrid soon; believe me, it's worth it. ~ by Daniel Svanberg

A destined encounter between singer/songwriter Elsieanne Caplette and drummer Stephane Sotto led to the creation of Elsiane, a duo that combines much more than its ... (more) creators' given names. Elsiane perfectly reflects this creative duo’s symbiotic relationship and creative approach. Musically, Elsiane is a hybrid of styles and influences. Their evocative compositions organically blend a pop sensibility with influences that range from classical music through jazz, rock and electronic. At once universally appealing and surprisingly intimate, their songs combine a polished surface and musical virtuosity with emotional depth and a highly personal vision. Creatively, Elsiane is a perfect fusion of these two musicians’ talents; drummer Stephane Sotto creates the rhythmic foundation that gently supports Elsieanne’s idiosyncratic and hauntingly expressive voice. The result is a lush musicality that intrinsically intertwines rhythm and melody - Elsiane is the sound of two hearts beating as one.
Born into a musical family, Elsieanne Caplette grew up in Peru. She studied classical music, however her own creativity blossomed when she studied under a mentor who advocated the exploration and integration of other traditions and genres. She played guitar and sang in bands in Peru before immigrating to Montreal in 1999 where she met Stephane Sotto. An accomplished musician and vocalist, she writes the melodies and lyrics for Elsiane’s songs, as well as playing synths and keyboards, and orchestrating the strings on their debut album. The other half of the Elsiane hybrid, drummer Stephane Sotto, was born and raised in Montreal. A self-taught musician, his collaboration with Elsieanne has allowed him to intimately explore the relationship between rhythm and melody. His study of Art History lends a conceptual sensitivity and awareness to both the musical and visual elements of Elsiane.
All of Elsiane’s songs grow out of a melody. The process starts with singer and songwriter Elsieanne; "Very strong melodies are the seeds, it always starts with the melody." Elsieanne uses her voice as an instrument. "Lyrics come as I sing, they emerge from the melody." Drummer Stephane joins the process as the pair arrange the songs. "I feed off of her vocals," explains Stephane. This intimate relationship between Elsieanne’s voice and the melodies and rhythms of the drums and other instruments is a hallmark of Elsiane’s music. Floating between worlds and genres, Elsiane create orchestral dreamscapes that plumb the depths of human fragility and longing. Theirs is a physical and emotional music – sensitive, evocative and deeply touching. "This music is based on life," says Elsieanne. "Life is an emotional journey that’s translated through these notes, this music." What we hear is the sound of our own heartbeat echoed in Elsiane’s haunting music.

и это вы называете трёп-хоп? для меня это - new age, classical, jazz

Да, голос у нея особенный. Сладкий, нежный и холодный - как мороженое Häagen Dazs Но кроме голоса, ничего особенного больше нет, в музыкальном плане.

alexone, спасибо!

alexone, а вкладыш как правильно собирается, так?

Вертикальный - совершенно верно.
На горизонтальном надо перенести девушку в позе налево - на самое первое место. Тогда будет всё как надо.

спасибо
