With "Les Échos du Souffle," Lyha MOON doesn't give you a song, but tears open a portal. Lyha's vision is a polyglot mirage, combining narrative songcraft with a literary world that is, in many ways, still blooming. All tracks on "Ceux tombés sans bruit" serve as literary keys, opening up the characters and moments found in Les Ombres de Draethor before the first page is turned. It's a brash, immersive method of upending how we consume art by becoming it.
The intoxicating song follows on from those of the conceptual universe Ceux tombés sans bruit and represents another facet of a beautiful polyhedric artistic journey that involves music, literature, and visual narrative. "Les Échos du Souffle," an excerpt from her forthcoming sci-fi/fantasy novel, "Les Ombres de Draethor," stands as a chapter and cinematic score to a story that unfolds as personally as it does across the cosmos.
"Les Échos du Souffle" doesn't sound as much like a song as a breath exchanged by dimensions. Lyha's feathery, whispery vocals skim the top of ambient textures that suggest a broad cosmic sweep but also call to mind small inner galaxies. There's this stillness here, emotional gravity that pulls you in. "That Prayer," the little do-nothing meditation I practice on you now, with my coffee in the morning but a moment, a meditation, an invitation to listen deep and with more than your ears.
Lyha MOON's artistry is more than melody but a constellation of expression. A delicate but determined voice is the thread holding emotion, mythology, and the invisible together. Every sound here is purposeful, and every silence is rich with story. "Les Échos du Souffle" doesn't ask for attention; it commands respect. "Les Échos du Souffle" is not so much a single as a seed from another world that's been planted in this one. And for you, bold travelers across the genre/form/storytelling spectrum, this is your call to heed the echoes.
