Élodie Renaud has crafted some beautiful compositions on the ivories since she fell in love with it. Her way of balancing gentle musings to emotive experiences is something any musician or listener can relate with. How her fingers dance across with such grace, seems like a god-given gift. This is her single called Dropping the Wishing Coin.
Her love of storytelling shines across. In instrumentals, a tale is often difficult to tell. The lack of words might be a complexity, but Élodie Renaud uses it to create the depth of it all. The yearning, pain, the desire-all that is captured in the moments of the action comes together. Her phrasings are mature, creative and yet allow the listener to fill in the images. She doesn’t overly saturate the song with notes. Rather, the silences speak largest volumes, as the music echoes the skill and command she has. Gentle, the skip is between two octaves in order to experience the tale with a new kind of addiction.
Tears in a Desert, Heart for a Heart are some other brilliant numbers where you can see her shine. Her collective experience in making music through her inner conscience leads to a surreal listening experience. Élodie Renaud can bring in nature through parts of her music, and yet make the melodies memorable. You can listen to her soothing song here:
