Chambre Verte - Don Van Vliet





Legend has it that his voice was destroying the microphones, the legend says that while recording Trout Mask Replica he had locked himself in a room and the musicians followed him to improvise in another. The legend says frightened by his own voice he demanded the presence of a surgeon to treat trees that were likely to suffer and even collapse. The legend says a lot about Don Van Vliet Child ... prodigal he had conceived the project rather odd to sculpt "all the birds, all fish of the sea, all animals of the earth" as if by magic ... Then Frank Zappa had been there, they just stew it had left, he had his sax with zigoto, sang blues filtered by Albert Ayler and Eric Dolphy, recorded albums dicey and other more centrist ... and finally the music business was not too his thing then he had retired into the desert, there lived in a caravan, he painted "all the birds, all fish of the sea, all animals of the earth . There was disease, slow, insidious, and that death discreet, polite ... for a little one would have thought that the desert was going to stop advancing ...

PS He and Blake Edwards, in two days is a little too ...
