RÏCÏNN commented "Δωρίς, Doris, the Nereids' mother, one of the creatures harmonizing the strings of the Ocean.
"I needed all this inspiring mythological imagery to express the several movements of the earth's souls, supported by the tribal drums of Sylvain Bouvier, textured by the awesome guitars from Eran Segal, and conducted by the strings of celloist, Raphael Verguin.
"Doris is like the post apocalyptic breathing of the earth,the last cries of the vegetal/animal and human reign, that Travis Ryan expresses so well in this track... I will let you discover how and when!"
Travis Ryan commented "RÏCÏNN's first CD Lian didn't leave my car CD player for at least six months from the day that I got it. There is nothing else like this project so when Laure asked me to take part I jumped at the opportunity! RÏCÏNN embodies some of my favorite elements from music... emotion, heaviness, beauty all done with extreme talent."
In a world of appearances, RÏCÏNN was born from the desire to remain true to her instrument, the voice.
As a child, she cooked remedies, formulas, and prayers to serve them to the world. An expression of 'The Now'. Fire & water, whales & birds, sounds emanating from the mist, blown by the windy shore, spitting the scrambling wreckage of a damaged arch, vestige from an ancient and forgotten civilisation, flooded into the oversights of time.
RÏCÏNN appears as the lonely survivor of a pre-post apocalyptic universe, a new world in which she bereaves the loss of her unknown culture.
Nereïd is a concoction of many cultures, assimilated and included with her own language. The experience of an incarnation in the material world, falling into the living, as the nymphs of Poseidon move the ocean, making choices, harmonising the rhythms of nature.
Known for her work as female vocalist for breakcore outfit Igorrr, experimental gothic funeral metal band Öxxö Xööx, and experimental trip-hop unit Corpo-Mente; RÏCÏNN's beautiful, solo work lies in the realm of funeral opera - with nearly all composition, instrumentation, and imagery created by the artist herself.
The result is a celestial dance, moving into unexpected explosions of terror, each sacred in their own right.
For fans of Diamanda Galás, Chelsea Wolfe, Klaus Nomi and Bjork.
