Oniros by ELEA

Press release:

The duo ELEA is pleased to present their 6th album, « Oniros ». A journey to the heart of Ethno-Ambient, deep and mystical…

About the album:

Journey to the heart of Ethno-Ambient, deep and mystical, "Oniros" has matured through years of work and creative introspection.

This new ELEA duo album reflects a period in life made of strong and enriching experiences, during which the artistic expression of Swann and Ely, and the precision work on arrangements, bring to fruition tracks charged with strength and meaning.
The power of the album lies notably in the use of multiple sacred and shamanic instruments played live, with a large measure of improvisation. Several pieces also contain mantra chants. Included as well in the recording of the album are certain of their musician friends (Hideyo Blackmoon, Ismaël Diallo, Trio Zephyr, Amu Ahava and Sangit Sirus).

"Oniros" is a rich, spellbinding album. It tells the story of the duo in a manner at once ecstatic, symbolic, almost supernatural, and always luminous.

Reviews:

Dj Kareem Raïhani :
Elea's new album Oniros, is the first "trance" band that made it into my (eclectic) set. With the slower tempo and an even more musical approach, like every other great band, Elea is transcending the style they come from. I love it!

Stef Holweck / Total Eclipse / Mushroom Magazine :
I had the chance to listen to it, it was a pleasure... All the Goa Chillout ingredients are in it... It s a pure chilled album that I will put in my dj bag and …loved it...

Robin Triskele / Triskele Management :
“It is such a nice release, smooth and solid. The vocals are angelic and tribal all in one… heard it on repeat in my studio today <3 love it”

Ale Tale / Sonica Dance Festival :
Fresh ELEA release.... cool beats...power sound...peaceful vibes !!!!

Emmanuel Moulin / Méditation France :
« Oniros » est un 6ème album réussi : un ambient /chill-out chamanique, tantrique, dansant et envoûtant avec des mantras et des mélodies relaxantes et un léger touch de Goa trance qui vous donne l'envie d'aimer et d'être vivant !

Dj Did Vortex :
Wonderful album, I recommend to every ambiant fan to try this ! Warm feelings, you won't be indifferent ! Congratulations Ely and Swann ! Keep going !

Hideyo Blackmoon :
“Beautiful flow…”

Sortie mondiale du 6ème album d’ELEA, « Oniros », chez Altar Records.

Le duo ELEA a le plaisir de présenter son sixième album, « Oniros ». Un voyage au cœur d’une Ambient Ethnique profonde et mystique…

A propos de l’album:

Voyage au cœur d’une Ambient Ethnique profonde et mystique, « Oniros » est un album mûri par plusieurs années de travail et d’introspection créative.
Ce nouvel opus du duo ELEA reflète une période de vie faite d’expériences fortes et enrichissantes, pendant laquelle l’expression artistique de Swann et Ely et un travail minutieux sur les arrangements ont donné des morceaux empreints de force et de sens. La puissance de cet album réside notamment dans l’utilisation de multiples instruments sacrés et chamaniques joués en live, avec une grande part d’improvisation. Plusieurs morceaux comportent également des chants de mantras. Ont aussi participé à l’enregistrement de l’album quelques uns de leurs amis musiciens (Hideyo Blackmoon, Ismaël Diallo, Trio Zephyr, Amu Ahava et Sangit Sirus).
« Oniros » est un album riche et envoûtant. Il raconte le duo, d'une manière tout à la fois extatique, symbolique, presque surnaturelle, et toujours lumineuse.

A propos des artistes:
