Born in France and currently residing in Brussels, Roxane Métayer is truly a multidisciplinary artist. Learning the violin at a young age, she also developed herself as a visual artist, creating drawings, sculptures in uncommon materials as soap, and in recent years video. she was also responsible for the gorgeous artwork of the latest R.O.T. - cd on morc. Her work as a musician is of an equally spontaneous nature.
Though Éclipse des Ocelles is her debut lp, she’s been quite active the past couple of years, in the duo’s Gebogen Ogen and Sage Alyte (with whom she released an lp on Vlek early in 2021). She's also put out an ep on Krut, the digital-only sublabel of Kraak, and a tape on les éditions du chevet.

Released on morc
Éclipse des Ocelles
morc 83 - lp (2021 - repressed: 2022/2023)
On her first solo lp, Roxane Métayer fully explores the sonic possibilities of the violin, field recordings and folk oriented orchestration and melodies. She’s not afraid to use effects, minimal percussion, whistles and the occasional hushed vocal to expand the sonic palette to a maximum effect, resulting in multilayered, semi-improvised and subtle meanderings, gently evolving around a tight core.

Split with Pefkin
Morc 87 - lp (2022)
Mutual admirers of each other’s work, these titans of Scottish and French dronefolk team up for a split lp – 2 tracks by Pefkin, 3 by Roxane. The fact that these like-minded artists explore the boundaries of what connects them, makes it a very exciting release. The Pefkin side is Gayle at her most melodic, whereas Roxane goes down a poetic and rhythmical path. Dream combo.
