About

Héloïse Werner’s first album, Phrases, was received ecstatically. For her second, she wanted to create a programme with a cohesive narrative arc – a journey, but one that the listener can take in their own time and their own way. For it, she has assembled a group of musicians who both share in her concept but also bring to the project their own varied musical personalities to complement Héloïse’s own distinctive voice.

Rightly described by Héloïse as ‘amazing people’, her collaborators – Colin Alexander, Julian Azkoul, Max Baillie, Kit Downes, Ruth Gibson and Marianne Schofield – stitch their individual contributions into close-ups in colours just as vibrant as Héloïse’s own.

Reviews

This disc captivates listeners with its improvisational and dramatic concept, blurring traditional sounds while showcasing Werner's technical brilliance, often creating a luminous effect.  Andrew Palmer
Lancashire Times 22 June 2024
French-born, UK-based Heloïse Werner always creates a buzz of activity and makes good things happen. [...] That philosophy of uttering interesting or provocative things with brevity is the product of a preternaturally lively and busy mind, and is invariably fascinating.  Sebastian Scotney
The Arts Desk 22 June 2024
