DELPHINE DORA
Delphine Dora is a musician, composer and improviser from France. A self-taught pianist and vocalist, her semi-spontaneous music has been enriched with new sounds over the years, including an interest in modular synthesizer, field recordings and of course: church organ work.
For more than ten years, she has been developing an intimate and plural musical universe, ever-evolving, but situated at the crossroads of different musical genres (folk music, minimalist music, improvised music, electro-acoustic music…) and languages (English, French, German, imaginary languages…).
It’s fair to label her as ‘prolific’ – in approx. 15 years, she released a dozen solo albums, and roughly estimated twice as much collaborations. This includes work with the likes of Sophie Cooper, Eloise Decazes, Mocke, Le Fruit Vert, Lau Nau and Gayle Brogan to name just a few,. Her albums came out on labels like Three:Four, Okraïna and Feeding Tube. And this first release of hers of Morc is a very welcome addition to this unique universe of hers.

Hymnes apophatiques
morc 86 - cd (2022)
Dora fully explores the possibilities of the church organ here, with a fearless approach. at moments sounding like the sound you'll remember from the hours spent in church as a kid, but just as often playful as sombre. The fact that she dares to intervene with her voice quite often makes it even more unique. It’s an enthralling listen, that not only takes you along all the possibilities of the instrument, but also through Delphine’s entire musical path. And that’s quite a journey.
