Harpist, pianist, composer, author, Cécile Corbel presents The Aquarius Daughter and Inger Nordvik Hibernation in piano-voice in the #LiveSession.
Our 1time guest is from Brittany (Finistère), it is Cécile Corbel.
What to do with a DEA in archeology from the École du Louvre? Music of course!
Self-taught musician, composer, author of songs and film scores, Celtic harpist and singer. Cécile Corbel has released 12 albums under her name since 2005: 5 independently, 4 with Universal Music (including the soundtrack to the film Land of Bears – Paramount), 2 internationally (Yamaha -Tokuma) including the soundtrack of the animated film from Studios Ghibli “ Arrietty the Little World of Thieves », hence a great reputation in Japan and China.
more than 1,000 concerts on stage in more than 20 countries for 15 years, in France, Europe and Asia: Rock In Japan Festival, Tokyo Opera City Hall, Blue Note Tokyo, Billboard Osaka, Auditorium Stravinsky Montreux… And 2 tours in China 2017 and 2019.
The new album The Aquarius Girl is concocted with the complicity of Laurent Tixier to whom we owe the texts of the songs, musical compositions, sub-double bass flute, Renaissance flute, percussion and texts of the libretto (Vendée).
Cécile Corbel and Laurent Tixier. First of all, two artists:
One to the north (Cécile Corbel), under the foothills of the Monts d’Arrée over which Saint-Michel de Braspart presides (in Brittany). The other to the south (Laurent Tixier), under the Monts Mercure illuminated by Saint-Michel Mont Mercure (in Vendée).
Two artists on the same territory that only one crosses, “ Ypresis », the prehistoric name of the Loire.
Cécile Corbel And Laurent Tixier found themselves on the back of the Dragon to sign together a work which seals a new alliance in what will perhaps one day become, “New Armorica”, as it is true that the cultural links are close from head to tail of the dragon.
If the transition… is not wise, it is nevertheless towards a new era from an astrological point of view that humanity is called to rise. The daughter of Aquarius, who senses this paradigm shift deep within her being, seeks to agree, to connect and get in tune to be part of the new, spiritual and fraternal world.
Sometimes historical or spiritual, sometimes engaged in current events, the songs of Cécile Corbel and Laurent Tixier are, above all, intended to be lively. Cécile knows how to speak loudly with her captivating, even unusual, voice. A voice that tells or rather, embodies its songs.
We are children of a future that we have already drawn in our thoughts.

Then the #SessionLive welcomes the Norwegian artist Inger Nordvik for the release of the album Hibernation
Raised on the sound of Nordic popular melodies and trained at the prestigious Barratt Due Institute in Oslo where she initially followed a course in classical singing, it was obvious that with influences like Joni Mitchell, Jeff Buckley or the Beatles, Inger Nordvik was going to flourish elsewhere than in a strict and academic environment. After completing her studies, Inger traveled to Berlin, a city that inspired her enormously and where she found like-minded musicians to work with. This is how his 1 was borner album Timein 2020.
