Live show or studio life ?

A film by Alain Le Kim

DVD / 84”

soon available

Yves is an over-active sound engineer. Passionate about his job, he explains how, as a kid, he was already fascinated by electronics. Starting as a guitar player, he was soon attracted by the magic of live sound in concerts. His incredible knowledge of music, analog electronics and computers has led him to a prominent position in the very restricted world of sound engineers. He is capable of running a huge live show for audiences of tens of thousands . « I am not afraid of a system failure on a live show. » He actually likes taking the risk to use very advanced configurations in these venues. At the same time, he will spend hours in his extremely high-tech studio, tracking and mixing albums for a good number of top artists. But he also states : « You cannot do this job if you are not a musician. There is no way around. True, it is a technical job, but what matters most is your taste and your ears. » Yves Jaget is a quintescencial audio figure. Entering his world of knowledge is a privilege. He has opened his doors to detail the often frustrating, but nevertheless magic world of modern music creation.

Yves Jaget goes for the truth. As a major sound engineer in Paris, with an impressive discography, he also insists on the huge difference beetween the adrenaline driven live concerts and the anxiety of the creative studio work.
