00:00 MC Solar with 30 echo musicians
00:03 Today in Montpellier, you're doing a real Big Bang
00:06 So explain us this New Big Bang Project
00:09 The New Big Bang Project was a desire to make discover a kind of great career
00:16 Not career, but full of songs from several eras
00:19 And then I met someone who told me that it's feasible today in 2023
00:24 To have the sound we wanted to have in all these eras
00:29 And to renew himself, we need to bring something else
00:34 So we didn't think about Symphonic because he already did it
00:39 And me too, and he thought about this Big Bang aspect
00:42 Why ? Because there are percussions, brass, choristers, violins
00:50 And it's the classical that becomes the soul or popular music
00:57 I didn't really believe it, and the meeting with Issam, the musical director
01:01 Proved me that it was true from the first rehearsal
01:04 How can we define the work with Issam Krimi ?
01:07 With Issam, the work is about justice
01:12 He did musical studies, he has the classical culture as well as jazz
01:17 He is not lost in a voice, he knows the music from elsewhere
01:22 American variety, soul, jazz and others
01:25 And he seems to be a volunteer and perfectionist
01:29 There were some songs that were difficult to adapt
01:32 And the proposal he made was even recreations that bring something more
01:37 So it was very easy, and with a great professional
01:44 Second thing, second argument he has
01:46 I am the man of words and of the microphone
01:48 He is the man of each instrument
01:51 There is a flute, a violin, percussions, choirs
01:56 He has his brain with several boxes
01:59 And he thinks of each of them in the way he arranges the pieces
02:03 He is an exceptional being
02:05 We can say that it is the love of words, the love of culture
02:09 That always gives you this energy, this desire to create
02:13 Tell us about this desire to create
02:16 Yes, it is the love of words, I think words are timeless
02:20 We say that words are good, but the writings remain
02:24 And when we manage to write well written words
02:27 We can sing them again a few years later
02:29 I worked with Issam for the selection of titles, of the pieces
02:34 So obviously with the judgment of Salomon
02:36 I can't choose a child rather than another
02:39 A piece rather than another
02:41 So he made a selection, like that, a selection, 80%
02:46 The common point is that these are words that are fluid
02:51 I don't know, he taught me pieces that were dense in what he was telling
02:58 I think the link with all this, in my titles, is the words
03:06 I take a little more time to write them
03:08 But they articulate well and they resist time
03:11 So when you have three decades of career like you
03:14 What can you say to young people who just want to be like you?
03:18 To be as fair as you
03:20 What I would say to younger people who want to be like me
03:24 Is to make limitations without limitations
03:30 That's what I said from my first album
03:32 That is to say that we can look at someone
03:34 The goal is not to try to be like him or surpass him
03:38 But it becomes a measure to go much further
03:41 And have the passion of course

03:47 (upbeat music)
