Artificiel par nature

by Anna Huuskonen

Description

“Mais est-ce qu'il ne vient jamais à l'idée de ces gens-là que je peux être 'artificiel' par nature?" ("But do these people never think that I might be artificial by nature?") This is what Maurice Ravel said when he was told many people thought his music was more artificial than natural.

Artificiel par nature is my attempt to embrace my artificial nature and honour Ravel at the same time. It's also a nod to some of the other musical genres that inspire me. But most of all, it's fast and furious. And fun.
