About me

He studied Musicology at the University of the Holy Spirit Kaslik, where he also graduated in two instrumental fields: Classic Guitar and Oriental Percussions.
At the same period, he started working and exploring technical and artistic techniques related to the programming of sampling and recording softwares such as Logic Audio and Protools.

blue spark | Chatelin - Barbar
This CD is a great innovation in the world of both harp and percussions. The work of Emeline Chatelin and Georges Barbar is complementary and perfectly productive: the result is a major step forward in fusion music. A touch of oriental melodies, colors of Spanish influence, and rhythms of impressive precision. This CD is definitely contemporary. A one-of-a-kind collaboration that is likely to open new horizons and many possibilities for harp and percussions. |
