{"product_id":"angele-david-guillou-en-mouvement-vinyl","title":"AngËle David-Guillou - En Mouvement | Vinyl","description":"London-based French composer AngËle David-Guillou makes audacious music that explores the interaction between rhythm and melody, structure and emotion, permanence and change. Her work is one of incessant dialogue between these elements, creating hypnotic compositions whose mutable internal architecture and shifting melodic accentuations immediately draw the listener in. Its a compositional process that is central to the eight compelling essays on the aptly titled En Mouvement, David-Guillous new album, the second under her given name, but its an approach that was present even in her earlier singer-songwriting work as Klima, and with cult electronic art-rock band Piano Magic. Her signature writing style is characterised by asymmetric bar lengths, irregular verse constructions and zoetrope-like arrangements  an approach to music as implicitly indebted to the canon of innovative rock and pop, Philip Glasss Music With Changing Parts or early European Baroque music. Born and raised in Tours in the Loire Valley, David-Guillou was classically educated in piano, singing, harmony and musical theory. She became obsessed with the work of German composer Carl Orff at a young age, and later enticed by the experimentation of Sonic Youth, taught herself guitar and joined her first rock band at 15. Simultaneously, she developed a longstanding interest in the academic study of the social history of music, and worked on her PhD at the Sorbonne. From 2002 she began collaborating with the aforementioned London-based avant-rock group Piano Magic, singing and playing guitar, synths and other keyboards, co-writing a good deal of the bands material and touring all over the world. In 2006 she moved to London and recorded her debut solo album, under the Klima moniker. Released the following year on West Londons Peacefrog imprint (home to JosÈ Gonz·lez, Little Dragon et al), the album was a critical success. She was soon at work on a second Klima album, Serenades and Serinettes, released by Second language in 2010. In 2008 David-Guillou had purchased a second-hand upright piano, her first piano since childhood, and somehow squeezed it into a room at the top of the stairs in her south London flat. Falling instantly in love with the instrument all over again, she began composing on it straight away. The resulting material would ultimately appear on the album Kourouma (named after the Ivorian anti-war author Ahmadou Kourouma), released in 2013 by Village Green. This impressive collection of compositions, notably influenced by the succinct, synergistic dialogue between melodic and rhythmic elements developed in the music of Moondog, was lauded for its maturity and the melodic richness of its dozen essays for piano, electric piano, neo-Baroque chamber orchestration and voice. Eager to explore her metier further and experiment in particular with the resonance of the piano as a compositional tool, in 2015 David-Guillou set out to purchase a grand piano.
