BRISA ROCHE
Born on a breezy Californian day, Brisa Roché was raised by an artist mother and adventurer father without electricity on the northwest US coast, where she surfed the waves, before leaving home with her guitar at 16. She moved to Paris and plunged into role of bandleader and frontwoman, improvising 5 nights a week in the stone "caves" of St. Germain, cutting her teeth and learning to command the stage, putting the vulnerability of her own songwriting temporarily aside, in favor of the vocal freedom possible through jazz. However, discovered by Blue Note and signed to EMI in 2004, Brisa released a critically acclaimed first record that veered instead towards spacey, cinematic pop. Beside her songwriting accomplishment, her breathy, unique voice alone establishes Brisa Roché as a formidable, wholly versatile talent and singer-songwriter trades the smooth delivery of former label mate Norah Jones for her singular vocal stylings. An Artist with a capital A, American born and French by heart, Brisa Roché is fond of risk-taking onstage and in the studio and flirts with cinema ("The Foam of Days" YSL "), fashion (Swarovski) and drawing. Combining elements of jazz, folk and ethereal pop ,her titles are invitations to dive into her intimacy alternatively with melancholy, lightness or joyful spirit. Her aerial and amazing vocal print (whose style has been compared to Peggy Lee & June Christy by Jazz Hot magazine) conferees Brisa a unique, elegant and emotional character that is sure to reveal the multiple facets of a talent whose generosity intensely speaks to everyone.
FRAGMENTS
Music sometimes is like contemporary art, it is a story of territories and landscapes and also who is staring at this landscape and occupying the territory. The view is gray and blue, necessarily at the edge of the water. The nature of the liquid could be a northern lake frozen in ice or the ocean that weguess in the mist. Who is watching this landscape? Three young musicians, hailing from Rennes, exploring progressive, contemplative, and organic instrumental music. Influenced mainly by Nordic music by piling bits of organic sounds and melodic emotions to assemble aerial instrumental blended with refined electronica and fiery post rock. Like when in contemporary art, technology, and humanity work together. Post rock ambient electronica, whatever the brush used, Fragments do not sing but they let us hear the sounds of a new territory. New album will be available July 2015 "music full of poetry" -indiemusic "a pure, beautiful and unadorned sound" -splashmysound "a musical project as promising as exciting" -themorningmusic "melancholic,atmospheric and dreamlike"-popisonfire
