Laure Stehlin writes: "A singular and timeless musical world, Orées is an initiation into fully conscious listening. My music is a link with all that vibrates, that throbs. It facilitates presence to oneself and enables an opening out beyond oneself. The edges (orées) are frontiers where the visible and the invisible meet, the audible and the unheard of, the perceptible and the mysterious, the real and the imaginary. Orées was conceived like a sound cabinet, in reference to the cabinets of curiosities which housed a multitude of rare objects representing the animal, vegetable and mineral worlds, in addition to human artefacts. For me the tone-color of the voice or instrument is significant. This is why my instrumentarium is rich: each instrument, through it's sonority, establishes a connection with one or more of the five elements that are earth, fire, water, air and ether. My musical pieces lie in between composition and improvisation and are nurtured by an intimate link with Nature. My Musical Art consists of touching the listener through the subtle effects of the sounds. For each piece, I work from a finely chiseled intention that leads the vibration to a contact that is physical, psychic, emotional and spiritual with the person who receives it. The sound wave, rich with the flux created in this way, nurtures the being, inviting it to plunge into the unfathomable landscapes of it's inner world."
