Dolly - Plein Air

Released: 2002
Role: Engineer, Mixing, Production
Label: Warner / France

Dolly’s third Album.

After the success of the first 2 we decided to record this album in Manu & Thierry’s large country house in La Marée, a beautiful place deep in the French country side, an hours drive from La Rochelle. The band had converted a large barn next to the house into a studio with a Soundcraft desk and a wonderful 16 track Studer tape machine. But with the arrival of the digital domain & Protools we decided to hire a Protools system from London. Me & my assistant Tim Rowkins loaded the system into my car & we drove from London to Chaille La Marée.

An Experimental album where Nikko Bonniere (the Guitarist) who had embraced Protools gave a lot to the production of this album. We spent a very hot summer in the studio, had a fantastic time then went back to Le Manoir in Léon to mix it.
