GEORGE XYLOURIS : LUTH, VOIX
JIM WHITE : BATTERIE
D’Héraklion à Canberra, comptez à peu près 15 409 kilomètres. On serait tenté de placer le même éloignement entre le luth de George Xylouris et la batterie de Jim White : pourtant, lorsque le Crétois et l’Australien se sont rencontrés en 1990, les distances se sont abolies en une forme de coup de foudre artistique. Le batteur a déjà croisé la route de nombreux artistes tels PJ Harvey, Cat Power ou encore Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy alors qu’il battait la mesure pour Dirty Three. George Xylouris, maître du luth, fait partie de la légendaire famille Xylouris, gardienne de la tradition musicale crétoise. Improbable sur le papier, la rencontre de ces deux univers allume pourtant un feu d’artifice.

Xylouris White Biography
Master of Cretan lute, George Xylouris, and Jim White a most innovative and charismatic of drummer, have fulfilled a long held ambition in coming together as a duo and recording their first album GOATS.
Fluid in nature, exciting and edgy, the music is riveting, compelling, spellbinding.
As George Xylouris, drove Jim White from home to the studio, they saw a lot of goats on Crete’s rocky hillsides. Georges is Crete’s master of the lute. Jim is best known as the drummer of Dirty Three. Goats, jim thought, would be a good name for the recording they were about to make. Goats are quintessentially Cretan animals. They love the high crags. They take risks, calmly look about for new dangers. Goats, Jim and George agreed were a metaphor for the music they were about to invent, music that would fuse traditional Cretan music with rock. Both traditions would of course have to adapt, really adapt, but both these goats are lovers of going right up to the edge and nearly over.
