Liberté Gulli Briem új albumának címe, melyet Earth Affair nevű produkciójával készített. Műfajilag az indie/world music/pop besorolást kapta.

Gulli Briem egyik alapítótagja a világszerte ismert Mezzoforte jazz-funk zenekarnak, mely a legnagyobb sikereit a 80-as évek közepén érte el. Legismertebb slágerük a diszkókat is meghódító Garden Party. Gulli új oldaláról mutatkozik be, tehetségesen alkotott meg egy filmszerű, „ambient” típusú muzsikát. Többször épít vonós zenekari hangszerelésre, egy különleges hangzásvilágba kalauzolva minket. A lebegő kompozíciók gyakran lepik meg a hallgatót különleges dinamikával. Gulli sok vendéget meghívott a lemez felvételeire, így például a dél-afrikai énekest, Vusi Mahlasela-t. A hangszerelés is különleges, hiszen olyan ritkaságokat használ, mint az izlandi kőhárfa, amelyet a híres izlandi modern művész, Páll Guðmundsson készített.

A brit hangszerelő Simon Hale a budapesti Bánhegyi Tünde vezette Color vonósnégyes számára készített partitúrákat. A Liberté albumon nyolc kompozíció található, a legtöbb Gulli Briem és az izlandi költő Jökull Jörgensen szerzeménye. A lemezen közreműködik a Mezzofortéból ismert Sebastian Studnitzky és Arnar Guðjónsson. A magyar színeket Barabás Tamás képviseli a Djabe zenekarból. Gulli énekhangja, erőteljes dobolása és megnyugtató zongorajátéka teszi igazán különlegessé a Liberté albumot.

„Aki szereti a Pink Floyd vagy Björk izgalmas hangzásvilágát, vagy az ambient típusú muzsikát, annak feltétlenül ajánlom ezt az albumot. Számomra egy igazi progresszív world music csemege.” – Égerházi Attila, Djabe zenekar.

“Liberté” is the name of drummer Gulli Briem’s new album release, an Indie/World-music/pop project which he calls Earth Affair.

Gulli Briem is a founding member and drummer of the teenage funk-group Mezzoforte, that had major success in the mid-eighties with the album Surprise surprise and the top ten hit single “Garden Party”.

Gulli shows a new side to his talents on this record with “film like” ambient, almost orchestral pieces of music that draw you quickly into their sonic world. The songs are indeed surprising and dynamic, where Gulli features South African singer, Vusi Mahlasela as well as using unusual instruments like an Icelandic Stone Harp made by modern artist Páll Guðmundsson from Húsafell, Iceland, as well as Dulcitone & Glockenspiel. British string arranger Simon Hale contributed to the album with two string arrangements performed by a hungarian string ensemble in Budapest.

The Liberté album features eight new compositions written mostly by Gulli Briem & Icelandic poet Jökull Jörgensen. Additional musicians apart from Mahlasela are trumpeters Joo Kraus, Sebastian Studnitzky, percussionist Frank Aarnik, guitarist Arnar Guðjónsson. Gulli’s voice, drumming and piano playing make “Liberté” a very unique album of soothing, but at the same time powerful and dynamic pieces of music.

Welcome to the soulful world of Earth affair.
