Tatiana Paris releases Hibbon

"Hibbon" is born from the extinction of the organ and the harmonics that emerge from the disappearance of breath, depending on the cluster played just before the machine shuts down. It is a rather solemn piece in which Tatiana Paris summons her own liturgy, with the help of an auto-tuned choir.

The fuzzed chimes sound like inner bells — a celebration. Altogether, it’s a kind of harmonized cry directed toward the divine, wherever it may reside in the silence.

The album t h a l l e is about randomness and correlation. How do unsynchronized elements come together to form a harmonious whole? “I can feel great joy in organizing the chaos of these materials that, in fleeting encounters, align within the same moment,” says artist Tatiana Paris.

t h a l l e is also an exploration of vast temporalities — from the smooth time of organ pieces or “Avril,” to the striated tempo of “Canine.”

t h a l l e is a heap of small autonomous entities, where the song is a tree, and the organ a stone.

Following a first solo album, Gibbon, released on Carton records in December 2022 and over 40 concerts, Tatiana Paris unfurls a new section in which prepared guitar, voice and a touch of modular synthesis dialogue with the organ.

It moves between noisy chanson and spectral minimalism, like a fictional encounter between Fred Frith, Ellen Arkbro and Jules Reidy.
