A001 Albatros
After an initial 5 year contract signed with RCA Victor in 1961, Alain Barrière in 1966 signed a second 5-year contract with Barclay. At the end of this contract, Alain Barrière preferred to create his own production company rather than sign another contract with RCA, Barclay or else. The reasons are probably multiple ... disappointment, rejection of constraints perceived as too arbitrary, lack of creative freedom, bad deal with officials or underlings incompetent or arrogant ... Just look at what we do suffer from the blues who embark on the adventure of Star'Ac or other New star to imagine what might be behind the scenes. In short, Alain Barrier starts to become his own and endorse both the hats of writer, composer, performer, producer, distributor, publisher, etc. ... For this it was necessary to name his company, and it will Albatross.
It is certain that this name was not chosen at random, but is the result of long cogitation and conclusion of heated debate. So in a sense, this name reflects the personality of Albatross Alain Barrière.
First, the albatross is the name of a sea bird, open sea, and with a wingspan can reach 3.50 m, after all, logical choice for d'Armor Brittany, and more than proud of it. There is a belief as what each albatross contained the soul of a dead marine ... The logo on the covers of records from the period shows that it is a bird, a large sailboat in which the wings beyond the framework outlined in the background. So it might as well have been gull, gull, penguin, scoter, Goose, Shelduck, gannets, puffins, ... I could go on and best ... So this does not explain everything, especially as the albatross did niche not in Britain but in the seas of the southern hemisphere ... But this name
albatross was also used to appoint a lot of other things: a movie, play a song, a musical, the flying machine of Robur the Conqueror, a production company, a bus, a Navy patrol boat, a Czech jet, a cruise, a golf shot ... etc. ... etc. ... In
albatrosses, we find the name of Alain Bellec, aka Alain Barrière: the al for Alain, the b Bellec and / or ba Barrier. As for tros , it would then too? (Yes, I know, it's easy ...) Albatros Would it reminiscent of a childhood nickname? The Canadian brand that publishes in Quebec's songs called Alain Barrière Able . We find the initials AB. Is there any chance? Alain Barrière had he shares in this company, or even actively participated in its creation? Mystery! In his autobiography, our favorite singer not a word.
But for a poet, albatross immediately evokes the poem by Charles Baudelaire and the last stanza:
The poet is like the prince of the clouds
Who haunts the tempest and laughs at the archer;
Exiled on earth amongst the shouting,
His giant wings prevent him from walking.
The parable that is parallel to the awkwardness of the bird on the ground when he flies so beautifully with the malaise of the poet in our midst so that he can rise so high through his art is one such model.
The Albatross label is then associated with distributors: Trema Discodis. Soon, Alain Barrier, which although man-band can not do everything, dropped the distributor cap.
During année1981, PS Love the Inca label Albatros disappears (and also simultaneously the Canadian label cable) in favor of a new label: Celtina , the same root as Celtic, Celtic, Kelt in Breton. Another way to assert Alain Barrière bretonnitude. And then there's the music Celtina (1975) Monitoring Celtines No. 5 (the music of a song), 7 and 11. What is happening? Why the name change? I express here the assumption that for reasons of investment in time (running a production company is involved), Alain Barrier decided to abandon his cap in favor of producer of artistic creation by selling his production company to another house, or by merging with other ... whence the new label that still persists on the latest CD.
Thanks to Jean-Noel particularly valuable for this discussion ...
