The artworks I used to make this composition are "A Slave Auction," Edmund Ollier, Cassell's History of the United States (London, 1874-77 Vol.3, p. 199) and James Barry The Phoenix or the Resurrection of Freedom 1776–1808. The premise of this work is the opposing history and ideologies of liberty and freedom in the United States of America.

Le Perroquet vert, 1949, huile sur toile, 110,2 x 140 cm – Musée du Québec, Québec, Canada – Catalogue raisonné de Jean Paul Riopelle, tome 1, pp. 277 et 369

Iceberg n°5

Tes titres figurent, ils figurent et orientent Iceberg Noir Tes titres orientent Perroquet vert, je ne peux que le voir Ton perroquet vert dans l’amas ocre, rouge, marron, vert, caca d’oie, Dans l’amas ocre, sable, sienne, perroquet, caca d’oie, jonquille, brun, Sanguine, sapin, prusse, vert-jaune, sable, vermillon Dans l’amas où le blanc perce neige reflet et dessine Dessine le, les perroquets verts qui dans la jungle Dans le sombre de la jungle capte la lumière rai reflète Dans quelle jungle, vert vert bois, dans quel zoo, dans quelle merde Où se cachent perroquet, sa symphonie Est-ce la symphonie du cacquètement Qu’à la surface craquelée j’entends C’est perroquet l’exotisme de quel Lieu De quel temps Je pense à tes grues Riopelle A tes oiseaux, à ta Rosa, A quel exotisme ton Perroquet vert Picassien ou braquois Répond-il, depuis quel langage Quel apprentissage de quelle répétition ? Figure-t-il Figures-tu Te figures-tu

from / to vert / Rosa

Figure-t-il Figures-tu Te figures-tu Iceberg Noir Pour à toi parvenir Dans le blanc, le blanc Qui à la surface Au dessus Ne cessera de s’ajouter Le blanc s’ajoute Comme ponctue Avant d’advenir De tout recouvrir Qu’enfin le blanc existe Et qu’au blanc la couleur Ne fasse que le faire Ressortir Sors De tout temps l’éclat de la neige Qui fond Et tient traduit Quel langage Quelle langue Quelles traces Mystiques

Les monstres des bords blancs des cartes

Au bord tout au bord des cartes Quand inconnu Quand le territoire était inconnu Pas exploré mais désiré La carte était laissée blanche - telle Mise en scène de Claude Ollier - là où le problème des cartes est toujours celui - des envahisseurs Et dans les bords blancs apparaissaient Des monstres Car au bord des mondes Gardent les mondes de L’interpénétration des mondes Les monstres

Photo: Archives Yseult Riopelle, Sans titre, 1964. Huile sur toile, 130 × 160 cm

Trait d’union (3)

De Riopelle-Mitchelle Je comprends que le trait d’union est pour toi le blanc Iceberg Noir Pas la toile, le blanc, la toile seule griffure peut l’atteindre C’est le combat pour faire apparaître la neige Telle qu’elle source dans les toiles de Mitchell Alors de la matière que faire, car la matière Iceberg Noir chez toi est couleur Du blanc, du blanc que faire, de la peinture De la matière peinture blanche avalanche que faire De l’épaisseur du matériau, de ton travail au couteau C’est à l’aveugle retrouver le tracé, la trace, le trait, la figuration, Sous la neige le trait d’union

Danse dans la neige, 1948 Françoise Sullivan

De la danse de Mitchell sur les toiles Riopelle vient, en 1948 a, était Avec Sullivan, Françoise Sullivan Qui ses danse des qures saisons créait Riopelle et Maurice Perron Pour Danse dans la neige Sur le Mont Saint Hilaire Où l’invite Riopelle à danser A la suivre filmer photographier Yseult a deux mois, Françoise Riopelle la tient dans ses bras De la danse de Sullivan à celle de Mitchell Pas à pas de la danse sur neige glacée à l’apprêt plat de la toile Pour, Riopelle, à la neige Nécessaire de revenir Nécessaire de revenir à Saint-Hilaire Dix ans après, Mitchell pour invitée Et Y tracer, Piroche, Y tracer signes Empreintes Dansés dans ses yeux Si souvent

Piroche, 1976, huile sur toile, 203,3 x 549 cm, quadriptyque – Université de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada

Iceberg n° 5, 1977, huile sur toile, 200 x 260 cm

Iceberg n°1

un iceberg c’est blanc, et bleu, et transparent, et gris et

immense

Iceberg n°2

je comprends sans comprendre l’absence de couleur la série presque tout en noir et blanc quand je ressens la couleur c’est dès la lumière pas le soleil la lumière dès que les nuages se déplacent jour ou nuit soleil lune ou étoiles quand le soleil ne redevient qu’une étoile comme une autre absente

Iceberg n°3

cette toile c’est Robert le diable à l’envers pour les couleurs et le blanc pas la technique ou alors la technique à l’envers serait de faire miroiter les coup de couteau carrés le bocage l’étroitesse à l’espace dont les règles sont celles physiques et toujours spirituelles de la répétition qui se compose à la composition qui organise le geste

Iceberg n°4

De la nuit noire J’ai ce souvenir enfant Dans le Vercors Dans le Vercors enneigé gelé Dns le Vercors avec Une dizaine d’enfants Et mon grand-père Qui se perd nous perd Nous avons skié toute la journée Et dans la nuit noire sommes rentrés C’est-à-dire Dans la nuit d’un plateau où les nuages Cachaient de la nuit toute lumière Dans la nuit de nos yeux de toute la journée Fatigués de la neige Blanche ou grise, marron et verte Transparente et jaune Une branche de sapin sous la neige l’irise Il y a ce blanc très particulier de la neige tassée Et toutes ces couleurs que les sensations procurent D’une neige légère qui tombe et grise Sur les paupières les joues Devient rouge la neige brûlure De celle qui glisse sous les patins fartés Et wootche wootche wootche De celle qui a fondu regelé fondu Où se posent fleurs flocons qui nuit tombe se laissent prendre intactes sous des mètres encore visibles Celle où trop sont passés bouillie Celle brillante de reflets Il y a l’eau grumeuleuse Il y a de la neige mon amour

Extrait de Maîtresse-Cherokees de Josée Yvon (une Mitchell canadienne telle que j’imagine que Riopelle aurait pu la rêver)

Impossible. Mitchell ne meurt pas. Elle est de celles qui n'ont rien à perdre, noire évasive d'actes fous, sincères mais dangereux.Mitchell est descendue de la Baie James, sept ans de travail parcimonieux dans un «office» d'une LG2 paralysée, sans bouger, elle attendait, elle était amoureuse. Au printemps du désespoir, les hommes ont changé de camps. La peur l'a accablée très vite. Où est-il cet amant qui l'avait volée? Personne. Elle tremble malade de bière dans le bureau hurlant. Elle a reviré le pupitre sur le nom des gars qu'elle devait dactylographier. Un désert dans ce camp élucidé. Rien... Elle a empoigné la petite dans la main droite, son «mickey» dans la poche gauche. Su' le pouce, pas de bagages, ça dépendrait des lifts... Couchées dans un lit ou sur le bord d'un ruisseau. Est-ce que ça s'appelle un pays? Quinze jours le long du lac à l'Ourse. Se laver sans faire de bruit dans toute la splendeur des cris de forêt, Donna serrée qui halète plus fort que les hululements. Elle lui raconte que tous les moutons blancs sur les vagues douces cahotent bien moins violents que sa petite écume tassée en cris embrasés de désir déferlant. Elles buvaient dans la rivière glacée, jusqu'à ce qu'un vieux garde-chasse surgisse, comme le vieillard à la lanterne... Elles ont fui dans les sous-bois d'un silence consentant, éperdues, des milles jusqu'à l'éclaircie, une petite route de terre... On se rend toujours où l'on focuse aller. «I left a woman waiting». Entra dans la première brasserie, la petite n'est pas servie, elle dort anyway. Une chambre à louer au-dessus de la taverne, couche la petite et redescend boire jusqu'à la fermeture.

Iceberg n°3, 1977

Rosa critique

L'indépendance de la pensée est pour nous de la plus haute importance. Or, elle ne sera possible que si, abstraction faite de toute calomnie. de tout mensonge, de toute injure, nous accueillons avec gratitude et sans distinction de tendance, les opinions exprimées par des gens qui peuvent se tromper, mais qui n'ont en vue que le salut de notre Parti. Je ne parle pas pour moi, mais d'une façon générale : c'est avec joie qu'on devrait accueillir des idées nouvelles puisqu'elles rafraîchissent un peu le répertoire suranné, routinier de notre propagande.

Rosa Luxembourg, Liberté de la critique et de la science, 1899

Oiseaux-Blancs

Les grues blanches De ton Hommage à Soleil Rose, Iceberg Noir, Ces grues blanches Ce sont autant d’iles Qui reflètent négatives Les toiles de la rue Frémicourt C’est le blanc ceint Le blanc-seing Que t’aurais enfin donné Mourant Soleil Rose Tu couronnes le blanc Du corps des grues Elle-même D’un halo noir Tout le blanc enfin revenu Au centre du centre Dans le corps vivant D’oiseaux coureurs Et élastiques Ce blanc cet hommage C’est tiré les coins des tableaux Que tu as aimé d’elle Faire un nœud à ton mouchoir Ne jamais l’oublier C’est le blanc qui cesse de t’envahir neige C’est ce qui de toi fond d’elle, Soleil Rose qui s’auréole et que tu peins Iceberg Noir

James Ollier - Nomad Frays

It’s hard to write about James Ollier without sounding like a personals ad: he’s young, likes to travel, and has a clear point of view; he has a delicate touch on the acoustic guitar. His Somerset lilt, his Bon Iver meets James Blunt style of melody, and the inarguably genuine sense of vocal delivery might just make a fan out of you.

It’s a folk-inspired foundation: both the primacy of the acoustic guitar, and the sense of space, contribute to a thematic freedom that allows us a vision of the heart within.

"We are the nomad frays caught between life and change we live for the minute, and then we relive it and get lost inside" -- James Ollier

With an inspired sense of wisdom, James Ollier makes a broad statement about how small we can be when we stand alone.

James Ollier is a singer and songwriter from Glastonbury, UK. This song is featured on our Lost Treasure - Americana playlist.

John Keats

Born: 31 October 1795, Moorgate, London, England; Died: 23 February 1821(aged 25), Rome, Papal States; Occupation: Poet - Alma mater King's College London; Literary movement - Romanticism; Relatives: George Keats (brother).

John Keats (/ˈkiːts/; 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets, along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, despite his works having been in publication for only four years before his death at age 25 in the year 1821.

Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his lifetime, his reputation grew after his death, and by the end of the 19th century, he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats's work was the most significant literary experience of his life.

The poetry of Keats is characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. This is typical of romantic poets, as they aimed to accentuate extreme emotion through the emphasis of natural imagery. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analysed in English literature. Some of the most acclaimed works of Keats are "I Stood Tip-toe Upon a Little Hill", "Sleep and Poetry", and the famous sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer".

John Keats was born in Moorgate, London, on 31 October 1795 to Thomas Keats and his wife, born Frances Jennings. There is little evidence of his exact birth date, as although Keats and his family seem to have marked his birthday on 29 October, baptism records give the date as the 31st. He was the eldest of four surviving children; his younger siblings were George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818), and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–1889) who eventually married Spanish author Valentín Llanos Gutiérrez. Another son was lost in infancy. His father first worked as a hostler at the stables attached to the Swan and Hoop Inn, an establishment he later managed, and where the growing family lived for some years. Keats believed that he was born at the inn, a birthplace of humble origins, but there is no evidence to support his belief. The Globe pub now occupies the site (2012), a few yards from the modern-day Moorgate station. He was baptised at St Botolph-without-Bishopsgate, and sent to a local dame school as a child.

His parents were unable to afford Eton or Harrow, so in the summer of 1803, he was sent to board at John Clarke's school in Enfield, close to his grandparents' house. The small school had a liberal outlook and a progressive curriculum more modern than the larger, more prestigious schools. In the family atmosphere at Clarke's, Keats developed an interest in classics and history, which would stay with him throughout his short life. The headmaster's son, Charles Cowden Clarke, also became an important mentor and friend, introducing Keats to Renaissance literature, including Tasso, Spenser, and Chapman's translations. The young Keats was described by his friend Edward Holmes as a volatile character, "always in extremes", given to indolence and fighting. However, at 13 he began focusing his energy on reading and study, winning his first academic prize in midsummer 1809.

In April 1804, when Keats was eight, his father died from a skull fracture, suffered when he fell from his horse while returning from a visit to Keats and his brother George at school. Thomas Keats died intestate. Frances remarried two months later, but left her new husband soon afterwards, and the four children went to live with their grandmother, Alice Jennings, in the village of Edmonton.

In March 1810, when Keats was 14, his mother died of tuberculosis, leaving the children in the custody of their grandmother. She appointed two guardians, Richard Abbey and John Sandell, to take care of them. That autumn, Keats left Clarke's school to apprentice with Thomas Hammond, a surgeon and apothecary who was a neighbour and the doctor of the Jennings family. Keats lodged in the attic above the surgery at 7 Church Street until 1813. Cowden Clarke, who remained a close friend of Keats, described this period as "the most placid time in Keats's life."

From 1814, Keats had two bequests, held in trust for him until his 21st birthday: £800 willed by his grandfather John Jennings (about £50,000 in today's money) and a portion of his mother's legacy, £8000 (about £500,000 today), to be equally divided between her living children. It seems he was not told of either, since he never applied for any of the money. Historically, blame has often been laid on Abbey as legal guardian, but he may also have been unaware. William Walton, solicitor for Keats's mother and grandmother, definitely did know and had a duty of care to relay the information to Keats. It seems he did not. The money would have made a critical difference to the poet's expectations. Money was always a great concern and difficulty for him, as he struggled to stay out of debt and make his way in the world independently.

On First Looking into Chapman's Homer Much have I travell'd in the realms of gold, And many goodly states and kingdoms seen; Round many western islands have I been Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold. Oft of one wide expanse had I been told That deep-browed Homer ruled as his demesne; Yet did I never breathe its pure serene Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold: Then felt I like some watcher of the skies When a new planet swims into his ken; Or like stout Cortez when with eagle eyes He star'd at the Pacific — and all his men Look'd at each other with a wild surmise — Silent, upon a peak in Darien.

“”The sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer"

October 1816

Having finished his apprenticeship with Hammond, Keats registered as a medical student at Guy's Hospital (now part of King's College London) and began studying there in October 1815. Within a month of starting, he was accepted as a dresser at the hospital, assisting surgeons during operations, the equivalent of a junior house surgeon today. It was a significant promotion, that marked a distinct aptitude for medicine; it brought greater responsibility and a heavier workload. Keats's long and expensive medical training with Hammond and at Guy's Hospital led his family to assume he would pursue a lifelong career in medicine, assuring financial security, and it seems that at this point Keats had a genuine desire to become a doctor. He lodged near the hospital, at 28 St Thomas's Street in Southwark, with other medical students, including Henry Stephens who became a famous inventor and ink magnate.

However, Keats's training took up increasing amounts of his writing time, and he was increasingly ambivalent about his medical career. He felt that he faced a stark choice. He had written his first extant poem, "An Imitation of Spenser," in 1814, when he was 19. Now, strongly drawn by ambition, inspired by fellow poets such as Leigh Hunt and Lord Byron, and beleaguered by family financial crises, he suffered periods of depression. His brother George wrote that John "feared that he should never be a poet, & if he was not he would destroy himself". In 1816, Keats received his apothecary's licence, which made him eligible to practise as an apothecary, physician, and surgeon, but before the end of the year he announced to his guardian that he was resolved to be a poet, not a surgeon.

Although he continued his work and training at Guy's, Keats devoted more and more time to the study of literature, experimenting with verse forms, particularly the sonnet. In May 1816, Leigh Hunt agreed to publish the sonnet "O Solitude" in his magazine, The Examiner, a leading liberal magazine of the day. It was the first appearance in print of Keats's poetry, and Charles Cowden Clarkedescribed it as his friend's red letter day, the first proof that Keats's ambitions were valid. Among his poems of 1816 was To My Brothers. In the summer of that year, Keats went with Clarke to the seaside town of Margate to write. There he began "Calidore" and initiated the era of his great letter writing. On his return to London, he took lodgings at 8 Dean Street, Southwark, and braced himself for further study in order to become a member of the Royal College of Surgeons.

In October 1816, Clarke introduced Keats to the influential Leigh Hunt, a close friend of Byron and Shelley. Five months later came the publication of Poems, the first volume of Keats's verse, which included "I stood tiptoe" and "Sleep and Poetry," both strongly influenced by Hunt. The book was a critical failure, arousing little interest, although Reynolds reviewed it favourably in The Champion. Clarke commented that the book "might have emerged in Timbuctoo." Keats's publishers, Charles and James Ollier, felt ashamed of the book. Keats immediately changed publishers to Taylor and Hessey on Fleet Street. Unlike the Olliers, Keats's new publishers were enthusiastic about his work. Within a month of the publication of Poems they were planning a new Keats volume and had paid him an advance. Hessey became a steady friend to Keats and made the company's rooms available for young writers to meet. Their publishing lists eventually included Coleridge, Hazlitt, Clare, Hogg, Carlyle and Lamb.

Through Taylor and Hessey, Keats met their Eton-educated lawyer, Richard Woodhouse, who advised them on literary as well as legal matters and was deeply impressed by Poems. Although he noted that Keats could be "wayward, trembling, easily daunted," Woodhouse was convinced of Keats's genius, a poet to support as he became one of England's greatest writers. Soon after they met, the two became close friends, and Woodhouse started to collect Keatsiana, documenting as much as he could about Keats's poetry. This archive survives as one of the main sources of information on Keats's work. Andrew Motion represents him as Boswell to Keats' Johnson, ceaselessly promoting the writer's work, fighting his corner, and spurring his poetry to greater heights. In later years, Woodhouse was one of the few people to accompany Keats to Gravesend to embark on his final trip to Rome.

In spite of the bad reviews of Poems, Hunt published the essay "Three Young Poets" (Shelley, Keats, and Reynolds) and the sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer," foreseeing great things to come. He introduced Keats to many prominent men in his circle, including the editor of The Times, Thomas Barnes; the writer Charles Lamb; the conductor Vincent Novello; and the poet John Hamilton Reynolds, who would become a close friend. He was also regularly meeting William Hazlitt, a powerful literary figure of the day. It was a decisive turning point for Keats, establishing him in the public eye as a figure in what Hunt termed "a new school of poetry." At this time Keats wrote to his friend Bailey: "I am certain of nothing but the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of the imagination. What imagination seizes as Beauty must be truth." This passage would eventually be transmuted into the concluding lines of "Ode on a Grecian Urn": "'Beauty is truth, truth beauty' – that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know". In early December 1816, under the heady influence of his artistic friends, Keats told Abbey that he had decided to give up medicine in favour of poetry, to Abbey's fury. Keats had spent a great deal on his medical training and, despite his state of financial hardship and indebtedness, had made large loans to friends such as painter Benjamin Haydon. Keats would go on to lend £700 to his brother George. By lending so much, Keats could no longer cover the interest of his own debts.

Having left his training at the hospital, suffering from a succession of colds, and unhappy with living in damp rooms in London, Keats moved with his brothers into rooms at 1 Well Walk in the village of Hampstead in April 1817. Both John and George nursed their brother Tom, who was suffering from tuberculosis. The house was close to Hunt and others from his circle in Hampstead, as well as to Coleridge, respected elder of the first wave of Romantic poets, at that time living in Highgate. On 11 April 1818, Keats and Coleridge had a long walk together on Hampstead Heath. In a letter to his brother George, Keats wrote that they talked about "a thousand things,... nightingales, poetry, poetical sensation, metaphysics." Around this time he was introduced to Charles Wentworth Dilke and James Rice.

In June 1818, Keats began a walking tour of Scotland, Ireland, and the Lake District with his friend Charles Armitage Brown. Keats' brother George and his wife Georgina accompanied them as far as Lancaster and then continued to Liverpool, from where the couple emigrated to America. They lived in Ohio and Louisville, Kentucky, until 1841, when George's investments failed. Like Keats' other brother, they both died penniless and racked by tuberculosis, for which there was no effective treatment until the next century. In July, while on the Isle of Mull, Keats caught a bad cold and "was too thin and fevered to proceed on the journey." After his return south in August, Keats continued to nurse Tom, exposing himself to infection. Some biographers suggest that this is when tuberculosis, his "family disease," first took hold. "Consumption" was not identified as a disease with a single infectious origin until 1820, and there was considerable stigma attached to the condition, as it was often associated with weakness, repressed sexual passion, or masturbation. Keats "refuses to give it a name" in his letters. Tom Keats died on 1 December 1818.

John Keats befriended Isabella Jones in May 1817, while on holiday in the village of Bo Peep, near Hastings. She is described as beautiful, talented and widely read, not of the top flight of society yet financially secure, an enigmatic figure who would become a part of Keats's circle. Throughout their friendship Keats never hesitates to own his sexual attraction to her, although they seem to enjoy circling each other rather than offering commitment. He writes that he "frequented her rooms" in the winter of 1818–19, and in his letters to George says that he "warmed with her" and "kissed her". The trysts may have been a sexual initiation for Keats according to Bate and Gittings. Jones inspired and was a steward of Keats's writing. The themes of "The Eve of St. Agnes" and "The Eve of St Mark" may well have been suggested by her, the lyric Hush, Hush! ["o sweet Isabel"] was about her, and that the first version of "Bright Star" may have originally been for her. In 1821, Jones was one of the first in England to be notified of Keats's death.

Letters and drafts of poems suggest that Keats first met Frances (Fanny) Brawne between September and November 1818. It is likely that the 18-year-old Brawne visited the Dilke family at Wentworth Place before she lived there. She was born in the hamlet of West End (now in the district of West Hampstead), on 9 August 1800. Like Keats's grandfather, her grandfather kept a London inn, and both lost several family members to tuberculosis. She shared her first name with both Keats's sister and mother, and had a talent for dress-making and languages as well as a natural theatrical bent.[54] During November 1818 she developed an intimacy with Keats, but it was shadowed by the illness of Tom Keats, whom John was nursing through this period.

On 3 April 1819, Brawne and her widowed mother moved into the other half of Dilke's Wentworth Place, and Keats and Brawne were able to see each other every day. Keats began to lend Brawne books, such as Dante's Inferno, and they would read together. He gave her the love sonnet "Bright Star" (perhaps revised for her) as a declaration. It was a work in progress which he continued at until the last months of his life, and the poem came to be associated with their relationship. "All his desires were concentrated on Fanny". From this point there is no further documented mention of Isabella Jones. Sometime before the end of June, he arrived at some sort of understanding with Brawne, far from a formal engagement as he still had too little to offer, with no prospects and financial stricture. Keats endured great conflict knowing his expectations as a struggling poet in increasingly hard straits would preclude marriage to Brawne. Their love remained unconsummated; jealousy for his 'star' began to gnaw at him. Darkness, disease and depression surrounded him, reflected in poems such as "The Eve of St. Agnes" and "La Belle Dame sans Merci" where love and death both stalk. "I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks;" he wrote to her, "...your loveliness, and the hour of my death".

In one of his many hundreds of notes and letters, Keats wrote to Brawne on 13 October 1819: "My love has made me selfish. I cannot exist without you – I am forgetful of every thing but seeing you again – my Life seems to stop there – I see no further. You have absorb'd me. I have a sensation at the present moment as though I was dissolving – I should be exquisitely miserable without the hope of soon seeing you ... I have been astonished that Men could die Martyrs for religion – I have shudder'd at it – I shudder no more – I could be martyr'd for my Religion – Love is my religion – I could die for that – I could die for you."

Tuberculosis took hold and he was advised by his doctors to move to a warmer climate. In September 1820 Keats left for Rome knowing he would probably never see Brawne again. After leaving he felt unable to write to her or read her letters, although he did correspond with her mother. He died there five months later. None of Brawne's letters to Keats survive.

It took a month for the news of his death to reach London, after which Brawne stayed in mourning for six years. In 1833, more than 12 years after his death, she married and went on to have three children; she outlived Keats by more than 40 years.

An Interview with James Ollier

Name: James Ollier

Based: Somerset, South West England.

Type of Music: Acoustic Folk Rock

When we stumbled across James Ollier’s music on YouTube, after he posted a beautiful rendition of Mumford and Son’s “Sigh No More” we were wowed by his powerful vocals and his bluesy, folksy tone. As we explored his YouTube more, we discovered his song “Beautiful Truth” and realized this guy isn’t just a cover-artist, he’s a singer-songwriter and a beautiful one at that.

James agreed to do an interview with us for Reminiscing the Record: reminiscingtherecord.blogspot.com

You seem to have a very folksy style. What made you start singing that type of music?

To be honest I'm not really sure. I've always loved folk music and have been listening to it since I was very young, as my parents were also fans of the genre. So, I think most of it is down to influence and just being the type of music I like the most.

Are there specific artists that inspire you?

There have been many artists that have inspired me to write and to keep writing music throughout the years, but mainly I'd say John Lennon & The Beatles, Jim Morrison & The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Laura Marling, early Noah and The Whale, Ben Howard, Mumford & Sons and Alt - J are the ones that inspire me the most.

Where do you hope to be in 5 years? 10 years?

Really my only hope or aim for anytime in the future is to be able to make a living from my music. Anything else is a bonus.

What do you do when you lack inspiration?

Hmm, mostly when I struggle to find inspiration I search through the moments in my life, which have had a significant effect, bad or good, and then see if I have any emotions still left for it. If so, I see if I can turn it into a song.

Have there been any albums or songs this year you wish you had written?

Not sure about this year, but I remember first listening to Ben Howard and to Mumford & Sons (first album) and thinking how amazing it would be if I had written those songs.

When is your album coming out?

I am working towards an album, but I don't think it will be out until next year. However, there should be EP coming out later this year, so keep an eye out!

What is your worst or most awkward moment you've ever experienced on stage?

That's got to be when I was 13. I hadn't been playing live for long so I was still pretty nervous. I was halfway through a song when I completely forgot the lyrics and for the next 5 lines or so I had to completely make them up. I have no idea what I must have said, but I imagine it sounded pretty weird.

Do your songs come from personal experiences?

Yeah all of them do, I have tried to write songs unrelated to me before but I find it too hard to find that emotional connection.

What instruments do you play?

Just the guitar at the moment and a bit of ukulele.

What is your dream collaboration?

John Lennon definitely, that's if he was still alive, but a duet with Laura Marling would be pretty awesome!

Is there a producer you would love to work with?

George Martin (The Beatles producer) would be pretty cool!

Your song A Beautiful Truth is stunning, what inspired you to write it?

Thank you, I wrote 'A Beautiful Truth' in Vondel Park, Amsterdam. I was sitting down with some friends and at one moment I could see a meditation group, a yoga group, buskers, dancers, families, runners, cyclists, dog walkers, groups of friends, exercise groups and couples. It just seemed in that park at that time the whole world was together and that's what it's really about.
