    «Mes deux derniers albums, Grand Tour(2014) et Partitions(2019), ont été conçus autour d'idées principalement musicales. Et même si les paroles de ces disques étaient également liées à ces concepts (respectivement le voyage et la dissociation), les chansons jouaient avant tout sur des timbres, mélodies, harmonies et structures, au-delà d'une narration ou même d'un sens.J'ai donc voulu mettre en lumière ce jeu, en débarrassant certains morceaux de Partitions de leur aspect chanté. Se concentrer sur les éléments purement musicaux a pour objectif de saisir l'essence de ces chansons, conçues dès l'origine comme des pièces pouvant se passer de mots. Ainsi, "Nora" contient des mélodies réharmonisées, tout comme des harmonies remélodisées, qu'une interprétation au piano solo a pour but de mieux faire entendre.Par ailleurs, le 45 tours Allora comporte des réarrangements de deux compositions existantes qui s'écartent des enregistrements originaux. La chanson "Aloysius" ne contient pas de cordes, d'où la volonté de présenter avec un violoncelle, un violon à cinq cordes et un violon les quatre suites d'accords possibles de son thème de clavier, ou les deux mélodies distinctes de l'harmonie unique de son refrain.C'est Mathieu Geghre (claviériste et arrangeur pour Olivier Marguerit, The Rodeo...), doué d'une sensibilité à la fois pop et classique, qui a élaboré les adaptations pour piano et trio à cordes.» OROUNI

lyrics

At first I heard it and it was like I knew the wines that make you passionate, the intimate things about you
I wonder if it is a real choice. I like to listen to your voice

But then I got too curious, I looked for your picture
The face really was peculiar since your hair is darker
And signs of wrinkles likely betrayed it wasn’t you who were portrayed

He wrote and sang his songs the way I love, compared to his contenders then, for me, he was a cut above
He only needed to create a sound to have you believe he was around

But then I saw an imitation of what he could look like
An image is a limitation of work done with a mic
There are no features that can embrace such subtlety and grace

Oh no she missed it, she blew it so hard
She could have made it, she had a trump card
Over the phone, under her spell, everything went so well

She thought she would be able to guess who he was and how he looked when he came, she was fearless
He saw her read the message he had sent, he fled and never called her again

about

Orouni Paris, France

A fascination for ambitious compositions, a strong attachment to the art of songwriting: Orouni’s songs make room for vocal and instrumental melodies with complex harmonies and instruments that are rarely used in contemporary pop music (balafon, kalimba, mbira ...). In Orouni’s music, the Kinks dance with Chassol, Belle & Sebastian dance with Dylan and Malian music plays with the Beatles. ... more
