In “On Parle,” Brest-based artist 3.14AIR crafts a rich, electro-cinematic experience that intertwines human connection and introspection. “On Parle” explores conversation as a means of reassurance. The track, released on October 25, 2024, opens with slow, pulsing beats layered with the voices of multiple singers singing an engaging refrain. The song then transitions into vivid guitar melodies over a steady beat, complemented by swelling melodies and playful electronic effects. The chorus plays with vocal dynamics, creating a “game of vocal mirrors” in which voices overlap and resonate.
In the background, snippets of human chatter of the artist’s friends over a clip echo, bringing realism to the song’s atmospheric production. This layered soundscape is further enriched by contributions from Caroline, 3.14AIR’s wife, whose comforting voice anchors the track’s theme of seeking solace in dialogue. The blend of rich timbres and unpredictable layering engages listeners in a story that unfolds uniquely through sound, embodying 3.14AIR’s distinctive storytelling approach.
The overall production, guided by François De Schryver, immerses listeners in a world of electro-pop ambiance that 3.14AIR fans have come to appreciate.
After a two-year hiatus following his acclaimed album L’espace d’un instant, 3.14AIR returns with a fresh sound supported by MicroCultures, La Carène, and Kuroneko.
“On Parle”’s reflective message offers a heartfelt glimpse into the artist’s vision and the comforting power of human connection. A whole new album is coming up this December 2024. So mark your calendars if you like what you hear.
