Solan’s “monstrous” tunes

From his Armenian origins, he has retained a slight, barely noticeable accent, which is revealed in his singing with a series of vocal melismas with crystalline softness. Having an actor father, an artist mother, and a grandmother who was a passionate music lover like Barbara and Aznavour, Solan Lis-Amboyan grew up surrounded by all things artistic. One of his first loves is the theater, where he started at a young age King Lear, while he studied at Marivo and Tennessee Williams at La Générale School in Montrey. At the same time, since the age of 15, Solan has been composing songs and singing folk melodies, accompanying himself on the ukulele, zither or piano. As a counterpoint to a society where art is often presented as entertainment, Solan, who is also an artist, proclaims its virtues; “Art allows you to beautify the world,” says a 22-year-old young woman with long hair. “Art is, first of all, the transmission of stories. Stories and history.’ His first EP, Monstrous, is a series of waltzes and nursery rhymes in four beats that brilliantly mix past and present, Renaissance polyphonies that evoke composer Josquin de Prés (1450-1521) and almost rap in à la Rosalía. Electronic music and organic instruments combine magnificently in Solan’s vibrant universe. PG:
