Watch En Avant La Musique Full Movie' title='Watch En Avant La Musique Full Movie' />Life and careereditEarly lifeeditAgnes Obel, and her younger brother Holger, grew up in an unconventional environment. Her father had three children from another marriage. He loved to collect strange objects and instruments. Her mother, Katja Obel, was a jurist and musician. She used to play Bartk and Chopin on the piano. Agnes Obel learned to play the piano at a very young age. About her learning, she says I had a classical piano teacher who told me that I shouldnt play what I didnt like. So I just played what I liked. I was never forced to play anything else. During her childhood, she found inspiration in Jan Johanssons work. Johanssons songs, European folk tunes done in a jazzy style, have influenced the young musician a lot. In 1.

She writes, plays, sings, records and produces all her material herself. The orchestral or symphonic music never interested me. I always was attracted by simple melodies, almost childish. I put a long time before writing texts because the music seems to tell already a story, to project images. Her piano is really much more than an instrumentObel says, The piano and the singing are two equal things to me maybe not inseparable but very connected. You can say they are like two equal voices. She says that, The music is the most obvious means to express what I am, where I am. All of the songs in Philharmonics are original work except Close Watch I Keep A Close Watch by John Cale Katie Cruel a folk traditional as the i. Tunes bonus track of the album.

For the promotion of Philharmonics, Agnes Obel appears under the lenses of Mali Lazell beside an impressive and worrying owl. This is clearly a reference to Alfred Hitchcocks classic The Birds. However, there is no owl in Hitchcocks film and many people find more connection with Ingmar Bergmans universe. Agnes, really superb, looks like Liv Ullmann in Ingmar Bergmans Persona or Tippi Hedren disguised in a proud Marnie rather than to its catatonic character of The Birds. Philharmonics has garnered generally positive reviews with for example James Skinner from BBC saying that the compositions. In the French cultural magazine Les Inrockuptibles, Johanna Seban speaks about a disarming purity and states, There is, in these deeply melancholic ballads, the clearness and reassuring nobility of bedside discs. At last, in Musicomh, Ben Edgell writes that Agnes Obel sings with a hushed and tender grace that waxes wistful and serene over yearning cello, harp, and piano vignettes. Shes a fey siren, with a dusky, near whispered vocal that speaks to Ane Brun or Eva Cassidy. French journalists have called her A revelation to follow. Agnes Obels first album was a critical and commercial success. Critic Philippe Cornet said that Philharmonics is A success that hypnotizes a greedy era of peace and redemption. In March 2.

AventineeditAgnes Obel began working on her second album in 2. About her new album, she said, I started to write new pieces, but all were instrumental ones, with the piano alone In this moment, I feel more inclined to compose instrumental pieces. I already started to write some texts, but for me, its more difficult to compose melodies. In January 2. 01. Agnes Obel started mixing her new album. On 2. 0 June 2. 01. Aventine would be released on 3. September 2. 01. 3. On the last album, I didnt want to disturb the melody with too many stories. This time, I wanted to know if I was able to create images with words, with the sound of words. I think thats a good thing when the one who is listening, is feeling it in a different way that the one who creates. We are all listening with different perspectives. I dont want to impose my subjectivity to the listener. Agnes Obel on Aventine3. On Aventine, Agnes Obel commented I recorded everything quite closely, miking everything closely in a small room, with voices here, the piano here everything is close to you.
