One of the best things about the modern age is how easy it is to explore genres that you previously might have found too risky to plumb the depths of by splashing your cash. It’s odd to think that before hearing Sigur Ros 15 years ago, I would never have considered myself appreciating modern classical. But through listening to movie soundtracks, and Last.fm’s algorithm taking me from post-rock into the outer reaches of drone, I’ve found myself absolutely adoring orchestrations that are primarily strings and piano, or one but not the other.
The songs by Emilie Levienaise-Farrouch takes a little from the Eluvium school of warm updrafts of drone and douses it in an early morning piano fog of Nils Frahm. The combination makes it the perfect example of what an unexpected dream it's been to ease into an ever evolving genre that involves classical instruments, and it seems somewhat contrary to be liberated by all this new fangled-technology.
