about

EN
After more than ten years, four albums and countless shows, Swiss artist Joell Nicolas takes a turn and releases her last album as VRVN. Despite being an ending, Storia is also a place for beginnings. For the first time, VRVN brings together her semi-modular synth with an acoustic instrument, but not just any: a church organ. Filled with air like a dragon, it becomes both emancipating and dangerous, weaving its sounds with synthetic ones, together with voices and lyrics: in English and –also for the first time– in French.

Three years of musical research condensed in ten tracks, sometimes structured as songs, sometimes as sensitive soundscapes. Stemming from an exploration of textures over structure, Storia meanders through intimate topics, such as, childhood, silence, risk, healing and transformation.

With the support of Ville de Lausanne and Canton de Vaud.

Après plus de dix ans, quatre albums et d'innombrables concerts, l'artiste suisse Joell Nicolas prend un tournant et sort son dernier album en tant que VRVN (Verveine). Plus qu'une simple fin, Storia est aussi un endroit de nouveau commencements. Pour la première fois, VRVN associe son synthétiseur semi-modulaire à un instrument acoustique, mais pas n'importe lequel: un orgue d'église. Gonflé d'air comme un dragon, il devient à la fois émancipateur et dangereux, tissant ses sonorités avec d'autres plus synthétiques, ainsi qu'avec des voix et des paroles : en anglais et – également pour la première fois – en français.

Trois ans de recherche musicale condensés en dix morceaux, parfois structurés comme des chansons, parfois comme des paysages sonores sensibles. Issu d'une exploration des textures plutôt que des structures, Storia serpente à travers des thèmes intimes tels que l'enfance, le silence, le risque, la guérison et la transformation.

Avec le soutien de la Ville de Lausanne et du Canton de Vaud.
