Details: The title of Valérie Milot's seventh CD is both a nod to the circle of valued musical colleagues she has worked with over the years and a reference to the loop as a musical concept, a seemingly simple melodic or rhythmical motif that serves as both framework and source of inspiration. The disc features six complementary approaches, from John Cage's ethereal In a Landscape to Frank Zappa's turbulent G-Spot Tornado to Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint where Valérie Milot recorded all the parts herself. As well the Les Violons du Roy ensemble are featured on El Dorado. Orbis is a bold album and an outstanding artistic achievement by one of the greatest harpists working today. The title of this seventh album by Valérie Milot (Orbis) is both a nod to the circle of dear collaborators she has surrounded herself with over the years and a reference to the musical concept of a loop, a melodic motif or apparently simple rhythm serving as framework as well as inspiration. You will discover here six complementary approaches, from the ethereal In a Landscape by John Cage to the turbulent G-Spot Tornado by Frank Zappa, without forgetting Electric Counterpoint by Steve Reich where Valérie Milot takes over all the tracks herself. In addition, Les Violons du Roy participate in the play El Dorado. Orbis is a daring album and a remarkable artistic achievement by one of the greatest harpists at work in 2016.
