A CLOSER LISTEN
"Now this is how to create an effective soundscape. Visit a different land (in this case Chile, a far cry from Monte Isola / Myriam Pruvot’s native Brussels), record the local sounds, add music of your own, and incorporate literature pertinent to the experience. To paraphrase, immerse yourself in the subject matter in such a way as to invite listeners to do the same. Niebla means “mist” or “fog”, but it is also the name of a coastal town in Valdivia, Chile, where the artist found inspiration for this multi-disciplinary work. To listen is to appreciate both the visit and the impression of the visit, which can also be gleaned from the brief teaser video below. At turns inscrutable, beguiling and beautiful, Niebla offers access at the same time as it dances out of sight like a skittish vicuña." (...)
THE FIELD REPORTER
"The island is the central character of this album released on Wild Silence.
For a sole semantic reason, the Monte Isola project of Myriam Pruvot is named after an italian island. But then, from one continent to another, this sound creation owes it’s denomination to a sojourn on a chilian island, named Niebla. From the very first track of this disc, Myriam Pruvot plunges us into a harbour atmosphere, but far from restraining herself to field recording, she brilliantly evokes her sound memories and add layers of guitar loops to better intensify them. Then one moves in a delicate geography, a skillfull back and forth between the place as it was experienced and it’s intimate interpretation that the artist offers to our ears."(...)
