Emmanuel De La Paix: Ultraviolin (UV)
Emmanuel De La Paix is a Swiss-based experimental electronic music composer, guitarist, vocalist and producer.
His music regularly combines guitars, acoustic elements and electronics, embracing synths and classical instruments, balancing a personal research of music sound. Inspired by the rough landscapes and unrestrained forces of nature found in both Switzerland and Iceland, the epic songs tell of the healing power behind nature as well as music, a feature which unites the two in a unique way. His debut album “Rescue Pack” released on 2021 is a grandiose mix of shoegaze-ish post rock, ambient and experimental electronics. Terre Brûlée, his second album released in 2022, is not only the French term describing scorched earth, i.e. a wartime strategy of not leaving anything behind when retreating from an enemy but also the state into which humanity seems to drive our planet.
Now Emmanuel De La Paix has released the first single Ultraviolin (UV) from his upcoming third album inspired by sonic art visual research. He explains “Specifically by the reworked images (often mirrored) of my daily life. Through those reworked imagines, I would like to remark how people’s feelings are capable to create new dimensions starting from an objective reality. The essential is invisible, but it is the invisible we are desperately looking for. Think about a reworked imagine of the Eiffel Tour, mirrored and flipped and ending to be e a steel sculpture silhouetted against the sky. Although the billions of pictures about the Eiffel Tour, people is still trying to capture its invisible essence. This invisible thing is the same matter of clouds.
