An Ode to the hate yet elaborate relationship between a human and it's creator, an intellectual combat between man and god, life and creation, birth and destruction. Not really..., it's a story of a singer uncomfortable singing the lines given to her and her annoyance for the song provided, also the really thin line between various emotions a melody can give it's listeners. and an end to a wonderful collaboration between Pia Salvia and me recording this song last of her 3 included for ODES.
Singing performance & composition by Pia Salvia
Musical composition & Lyrics by Stélian Derenne
Pia to Forte
Tempo : 80 Bpm
In confort I'm bored,
To repeal it I bring-,
-In a major discord,
When I sing-
-In this minor chord. (repeat)
And I might switch, In a bit,
From upset to happy,
Higher pitch,
To befit,
Your preset to beauty.
Hear me now,
See the smiles now instead,
Hear me now,
Easy to get in your head,
Is it not,
No matter what I just said,
Hear me now,
Ho god I think I misread,
Hear me out
These lyrics have you misled
"I'll be Pia-It-seems-on-
-Forte glissando,
My pia-ni-ssi-mo,
Seeks heavy Crescendo,
I'll be Pia,
It seems,
An outlaw,
In themes,
A major melody,
On a minor mind,
And I think I lost it,
Singing this line,
The composer’s crossed it,
So I'll decline,
Smilling back again,
In tune and insane
I'm swinging in vain,
Singing in pain,
From Pia to forte,
From depth to cliché,
Beatrice to Dante,
From dismiss to display.
And I might be lost,
Yet hear me now,
I might pay the cost,
Yet hear me now,
Eloquence was here,
All along,
Beyond the sound it appeared,
Growing strong,
Hear it now,
On the drums,
Hear it now,
On the horns,
Hear it now,
In my voice
Know it now,
It's a choice
So let me end,
On beauty restored,
Yet also to offend,
With this minor discord.

Love the dark soundscapes and myriad musical influences. Genre-bending and emotionally charged, this is one of my favourite albums. Laure's vocals are otherworldly 🖤 skog heksa

La notion de cycle nous obsède toujours : tantôt vecteur d'harmonie, celle du cercle aux proportions parfaites ; tantôt source d'angoisse existentielle.
Stélian Derenne et Laure Le Prunenec, qui s'associent en créant le groupe ELE YPSIS, décident de se pencher sur ce paradoxe dans ce premier album, SPIRALIS, qui se déroule sur quatre saisons, de l'automne à l'été suivant. C'est toute la magie de la nature qui est mise en avant, qui se répète sans cesse, jamais de la même manière. Poétique. Jordan Vauvert

EKSÜ fait partie de ces albums à la beauté insondable. Plus intimiste que SPIRALIS, Stélian Derenne joue sur une musique minimale pour nous faire entrer dans une sorte d'extase — la recette fonctionne vraiment bien. Les aspects symphoniques sont mis de côté : la voix de Laure Le Prunenec est surtout accompagnée par un piano délicat et agile ("Fantaise" en est une belle preuve). Le voyage est plus aquatique, fonctionnant sur des flux et reflux quand l'electro glitchée s'en mêle. A ne pas manquer. Jordan Vauvert
