David Tixier Trio - Because I Care (2021) Hi-Res

Because I Care is the title of the new album by the David Tixier Trio, recorded in February 2020 at the Alhambra Studios in Rochefort (17) in France, just before the first confinement in March.

It is in a social context of discord, disagreement, and a fragile economic and political climate, that this album fits. The title of the album refers to the desire to understand, feel, internalize, the external messages of the world around us.

The latter, in the era of social networks and the ultra-connectivity of each individual constituting our modern societies, sees himself as the theater of an inability to listen to the other, to his difference, to his point of view. sight, and the absence of dialogue is then seriously felt.

Social network platforms, taken by storm as a tool for promotions, rehashing advertising, even disinformation campaign (“fake news”) crisscross the minds of these users by offering them more and more content going in the direction of their sole purpose. pleasure, opinions and judgment.

So today it's hard to accept the difference of opinion.

It is here that Because I Care is born and that within this tension is born the will not to have to choose a camp, but to make the opinions coexist, and to try to understand them, to worry about the world (“to care”). This album, through 9 pieces in trio, including 3 with the guest of mark David Linx on vocals, borrows snatches of ideas, beginnings, left free to the interpretation of each one. It also pays homage to singer Neil Young, with a cover of the track Old Man.
