Louis Warynski quickly distinguished himself as a multi-instrumentalist (violin, piano, harmonium, guitar, harpsichord…) and became one of the French artists performing the most abroad, with six albums to his name where he evolves in a universe that is sometimes light, sometimes melancholic and psychedelic, always dreamlike. His compositions are written in the manner of a work by Lewis Carroll: the lyricism of the rough strings introduces us to an electronic, colorful world that we continually explore through fascinating and unique orchestral arrangements.
It is therefore no surprise that his music enchants the soundtracks of the series “Les Contes du Paris Perché,” Amandine Meyer’s animated film “Histoire Pour Deux Trompettes,” or Sophie Fillières’ “La Belle Et La Belle” in 2018. Louis’s sound palette also naturally colors digital and contemporary art projects, respectively presented at the Barbican Centre in London and the Centre Pompidou in Metz.
In 2021, the artist surrounded himself with an ensemble composed of a piano, drums, clarinets, a cello, a viola, and a violin, plunging the audience into a live and acoustic experience, that of “Ensemb7e.” For this project, he abandoned all technology and returned to wood to reconcile his audience with musical instruments, as Sergei Prokofiev did with his mythical symphonic tale “Peter and the Wolf.”
We let ourselves be carried away by his psychedelic and elegant compositions as if in a dream where textures overlap and evolve unpredictably. Louis Warynski always has more than one melody up his sleeve to guide our imagination towards curious sounds, mysterious intrigues, and above all, a wonderland.
