January 7 2015


"Je crois en la musique, la science, les mathématiques, l'exploration de l'espace, la cuisine, le vin, la danse, les petits matins d'hiver, les longues soirées d'été, le rire, la petite pluie fine agaçante qui tombe souvent par chez moi, l'école, l'archéologie et l'histoire, les fées, l'espoir qui renaît après la peine, l'intelligence, les livres, l'électricité et le feu, Darwin, Victor Hugo et Alexandre Dumas, le tout créé de rien, le suffrage universel, les bandes dessinées et les mangas, les paysages - des plaines aux montagnes, les peintres et le dessin, les dictionnaires et les romans, le droit de croire ou ne pas croire, le droit de devenir mystique le temps d'un coucher de soleil ou devant un monument érigé par les humains, l'infinie sagesse de mon chat, la force des femmes et des enfants, la douceur des hommes, le voyage, les conversations inutiles autour d'un café, le thé et ses parfums inspirants, les Gens, qu'ils soient d'ici ou d'ailleurs, même s'ils m'énervent ou me désolent parfois, Vous, moi, mon amoureux, mes musiciens, mes proches, mes amis...
A bientôt.

There still are some gigs to perform before the end of the year and before we "hibernate" for a few weeks and start to set a few harp chords on new songs.

On December the 18th will be released in Japan the "Ghibli Set II" album by the Japanese DJ Daihi Dance. He once again made me the honor of featuring his album with a very kawai cover of Arrietty's Song.

On February the 26th 2014 the movie Terre des Ours (Paramount) will be shown on French screens.
I've composed for that film a few songs and music, and the French actress Marion Cotillard provides the voice-over for that gorgeous, 3D wildlife film.

I wish you all with a little advance a very Merry Christmas, in a warm home I hope with your family or friends, and I send you many hearty thoughts for this new year to come that we are soon to rush in !
Sincerely yours

Amazing voice - NHK - Japan

I'm also glad to announce the broadcasting of a 52-minute documentary on breton music, showing on May 26 on the japanese TV channel NHK.
For that documentary entitled "Amazing Voice", I had the priviledge of being a guide that would present my region.
Several musical sequences were shot, including a song that I could never forget, played solo, just harp and voice, on the windy cliffs of my home region, Cap Sizun.
My harp-maker Marin Lhopiteau as well as Alan Stivell and Yan Fanch Kemener also honored this film with their presence and music.
I'll be in Japan between May 20 and May 23 for a special NHK show around the documentary series.

Simon...

The french release of "Arrietty, le petit monde des chapardeurs" is drawing near, and I would like to pay hommage to Simon Caby, talented musician and arranger, who's working with me for a long time now.
Without his advices and talents my little melodies would have stayed anonymous. He transformed my songs into jewels. I will always be grateful for this.

A Breton Lady in Tokyo

After "Ponyo on the cliff by the sea" The Ghibli Studios just announced that they are working on a new movie, entitled "Karigurashi no Arrietty", directed by Hiromasa Yonebayashi.
Ghibli's movies have always been a great source of inspiration for me, many of them are part of my favorite movies ever : "Spirited away", "My neighbour Totoro" "Princess Mononoke", "Kiki's delivery service" and many more... There is a long list and I can definitely not choose which one is my favorite!
I'm very happy to share the news with you and to announce that I'm composing the soundtrack for this new movie.
This is a great honor and a very nice present for me to be part of this beautiful project, and I'm working on the music and songs composition since May 2009 with my partner and friend Simon Caby.
The movie will be released next summer 2010 in Japan.
The very first teaser will be broadcasted during the Christmas holidays in Japan including the main music theme "Arrietty's song" (digital release in Japan on December 19 2009)
Official website available here : karigurashi.jp
For now, a lot of travelling between Paris and Tokyo, and a couple of jananese lessons ;)

SongBook vol 2 press Review

« Discrètement, mais surement, Cécile Corbel s’impose comme l’une des valeurs sûres du pop folk celtique. La bretonne, qui joue beaucoup à l’étranger, tourne les pages d’un nouveau « songbook » au parfum de légendes.  Le Télégramme – 4 décembre 2008
« Mélodies cotonneuses (sans faire un bruit, comptine amoureuse à l’ambiance marine), sens de l’imaginaire et cordes suaves, volumes épointés (« the great selkie » à l’instinct plus épique) (…) tout confine à l’évidence même. S’offre alors une heure de paix totale, de retrouvailles avec soi sur fond de légendes. »  E.  H - D-side – Nov 2008
« Songbook vol 2 plonge l’auditeur dans des histoires de chevaliers, de pirates, de demoiselles amoureuses et d’animaux qui parlent. Des histoires parfois simples et infantiles mais qui font le bonheur de nos âmes rêveuses (…) Un univers celtique sans frontière qui s’affirmera encore un peu plus avec le sublime instrumental « Innocence » et ses sonorités orientales »  Khimaira – Nov 2008
«(…) des chansons qui réunissent douceur, énergie et Imaginaire »  Ouest France – 8 décembre 2008
(…) des histoires d’amours tragiques, des saisons abattues sur les forêts ancestrales, quelques exploits chevaleresques et autres mythes et légendes qui prêtent aux songes.
(…) une World Music façonnée par Peter Gabriel auquel on aurait greffé une voix cousine de Maggie Reilly : un timbre haut, limpide et parfois ombrageux.
(…) Un monde fragile, limpide, où les sens sont en éveil. Où la harpe devient reine.
Chronique songbook vol 2 – Amarokprog – C. D
« Aussi envoutante dans son « trip » qu’elle parait si fragile en dehors de la scène, la musicienne au prénom prédestiné a trouvé son chemin. Cécile évolue dans un univers où le rêve trouve sa juste et salvatrice place en notre quotidien formaté »
le Télégramme – 5 décembre 2008

Sydney morning herald cd review

"Imagine a red haired Celt from Brittany, with  a voice that hovers somewhere between Kate Bush (she can sure reach those higher registers), the purity of Sinead O Connor and the mysticism of Enya and you’ll have a good idea what this remarkable young harpist, arranger of traditional songs and original songwriter sounds like.

 

Corbel belong to this new generation of European folkies, put her in the same bag as Kate Rusby, Eliza Carthy and Jim Moray -  In the sense that she is happy to take crusty old folk standards and reinvent them for the 21st-century audience.

 

The most interesting tracks on the album  are the old made new, wich include her rich mix of funky rythm and strings on “she moved through the fair”, the very Enya-ish “the burnt of Auchindoun”, and a tantalizing intermingling of ancient and modern in her version of Robert Burns’ “A red red rose”.
This is the work of a major new talent.
The result is accessible, cutting-edge-folk." BE

on the frontier of Siberia

"SongBook1" in Siberia
(...) I am at the moment in the Oural region, in the Komi Republic (...) Your music keeps me company here when it’s -24°C.
The harp definitely fits in these icy landscapes.
Anyway, your music follows me, here on the frontier of Siberia. (...) L.S.
