Olivia Belli, Daguerréotypes

Memory is the most precious thing in the world. And the special relationship between the human mind, sound and the past always fascinates me the most.

This outstanding little gem by Olivia Belli captures this fascination perfectly.

Three tracks inspired by an old picture, one for each portrayed girl. A beauty. Please enjoy.

The artist wrote: "Daguerréotypes brought me in the past: antiques always have a story to tell, a memory to hand down; and moreover, they radiate a special vibration, a human vibration that is hard to find in the new objects of our digital age. The three songs of the EP tell in music about the story of three little women seen on an ancient photo - a daguerreotype - that has strongly inspired me. I have called them Gabrielle, Juliette, and Blanchette." (source: https://oliviabelli.com/about)
