Berceuses Des Deux Mondes
"As our ears wander into the cacophony of a saturated world, drowned by the dissonance and excess of noise that besieges us, Rien Virgule invites us to explore sonic interstices, to slow down and resist the frenzy.

We listen as we contemplate a flickering candle flame, tinged with a luminous melancholy. T…
Incendies
"Incendies" is a piece that sings the jolts of a world on battery. Just as we watch a fire with fascination, its beauty and its destructive force at the same time, one can listen to analog signals enriched with saturations and give birth to the space created inside a stereophony. Or meditate on the carbon footprint of the same action. And for your information: the number of megafires will increase by 30% by 2050 (according to a report by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) which also d…

Com a lanceta na mão
*80 copies limited edition* Marion Cousin and Eloïse Decazes are musicians, singers and friends. For some fifteen years, each of them, in their various incarnations (Catalina Matorral / Arlt) and companionships (notably Gaspar Claus, Kaumwald, Borja Flames for one, Eric Chenaux, Delphine Dora, Julien Desailly for the other), has been struggling with their own means, their own temperament, to move forward together, albeit crab-like, the chanson d'auteur and the chanson sans auteur - which is cont…
