Elodie Sablier, pianist and composer, has made the art of transcribing human encounters, the beauty and fragility of nature her signature. Her minimalist, timeless, colourful and above all cinematographic music responds to an organic function: Elodie Sablier composes as she breathes, instinctively.
Influenced by artists such as Hania Rani, Nils Frahms or Michel Nyman, the styles evolve like so many ramifications around a common trunk: her training as a classical pianist, acquired at the Lyon and Paris Conservatories, and completed by a jazz school in Valence. There she won several prizes in piano and chamber music and for several years performed the most prestigious scores (Beethoven, Debussy, Liszt...).
But it was in Australia, where she lived for six years, that the composer revealed herself. Carried away by the novelty of exoticism and freed from a certain academicism, she produced two albums in quick succession: Vertigo in 2013 (number 1 in the Australian charts) and Silent Bridge in 2014. These two albums will be played on many of the country's biggest stages, including the Opera House in Sydney.
Back in France, she unveiled her third opus, Graine de Sable, in 2017, and put her writing at the service of ensembles, orchestras, short and feature films. Based in the heart of a Provencal forest, she is currently preparing the release of her next album on the XXX label, the first track of which will be unveiled at the end of 2022. To be discovered on stage during the 21 performances already scheduled at the Festival d'Avignon 2023.
