Tess Roby (n\u00e9e en 1993) est une musicienne et une photographe bas\u00e9e \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al. Depuis la parution de son premier album, Beacon<\/em>, en 2018, elle s\u2019est produite en tourn\u00e9e \u00e0 travers l’Am\u00e9rique du Nord et l’Europe aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s des c\u00e9l\u00e8bres Julia Holter, Men I Trust et Chromatics. Son travail photographique a \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9 et expos\u00e9 \u00e0 l’\u00e9chelle internationale, et son premier livre, Montr\u00e9al<\/em>, a \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9 en 2020 chez l’\u00e9diteur new-yorkais KGP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideas of Space<\/em>, le deuxi\u00e8me album de Roby, sera le premier sur sa nouvelle \u00e9tiquette de disques, SSURROUNDSS. Elle fait \u00e9galement partie du trio \u00e9lectronique montr\u00e9alais Dawn to Dawn, qui sortira son premier projet \u00e0 l’automne 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

La musique \u00e9lectronique exploratoire de Tess Roby reste unique et visionnaire. Chanteuse de formation classique et joueuse de synth\u00e9 autodidacte, ses chansons naviguent entre les structures pop, ambient <\/em>et folk alternatives, prenant soin de mettre l’accent sur la voix comme instrument. Ideas of Space <\/em>s’inscrit dans un processus d’\u00e9volution vers une ind\u00e9pendance artistique totale. Tess Roby est autrice-compositrice-interpr\u00e8te, productrice, musicienne, r\u00e9alisatrice de vid\u00e9os musicales et directrice artistique. L’album para\u00eetra sur sa propre \u00e9tiquette, SSURROUNDSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abTout ce temps pass\u00e9 seule, \u00e7a m’a appris une chose : comment me sentir vivante\u00bb, affirme Tess Roby. Ideas of Space<\/em> entra\u00eene l’auditeur dans le monde int\u00e9rieur de l’artiste, dans lequel l’esprit est une pi\u00e8ce et le corps, une maison. Les dualit\u00e9s de la lumi\u00e8re et de l’obscurit\u00e9, de la lourdeur et de l’effervescence, du physique et de l’immat\u00e9riel, se renvoient l’une \u00e0 l’autre. Roby \u00e9crit intuitivement: ses textes d\u00e9rivent entre les r\u00eaves, les souvenirs et la r\u00e9alit\u00e9, puis prennent soudainement vie par la riche intimit\u00e9 de sa voix. Des boucles de synth\u00e9tiseur circulaires montent et descendent le long de motifs vocaux entrelac\u00e9s, se construisant sans effort pour cr\u00e9er des paysages sonores minimaux mais complexes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De son premier album, Beacon<\/em> (2018), \u00e0 Ideas of Space<\/em>, on peut entendre une confiance croissante : la production est plus cors\u00e9e et les structures plus expansives. L’inclusion de tambours, de bois et de violoncelles des collaborateurs Austin Tufts (Braids), Joseph Shabason et Ouri ajoute des textures complexes aux paysages sonores de Roby. De l’urgence hypnotique de la chanson titre Ideas of Space<\/em> \u00e0 l’ambiance cin\u00e9matographique d’Euphoria in August<\/em>, l’album passe sans effort de la jubilation \u00e0 la contemplation, faisant \u00e9cho aux concepts de dualit\u00e9 qui traversent le projet. Comme l’annonce la couverture triomphante de l’album, la musique c\u00e9l\u00e8bre le flux de la vie dans toutes ses contradictions; son visage baign\u00e9 de lumi\u00e8re, son corps encadr\u00e9 d’ombre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tess Roby (b. 1993) is a musician and photographer based in Montreal. Her debut album, Beacon<\/em>, was released in 2018, and she has since toured across North America and Europe alongside celebrated acts Julia Holter, Men I Trust and Chromatics. Her photographic work has been published and exhibited internationally, and her first book Montreal <\/em>was released in 2020 by New York publisher KGP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideas of Space<\/em>, Roby\u2019s sophomore album, will be the first on her newly launched record label, SSURROUNDSS. She is also part of the Montreal electronic trio Dawn to Dawn, who will release their debut LP in Fall 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tess Roby\u2019s explorative brand of electronic music continues to remain unique and visionary. A classically trained vocalist and a self-taught synth player, her songs ride the lines between pop, ambient and alternative folk structures, with an emphasis on voice as instrument. Ideas of Space<\/em> comes in a process of moving towards full artistic independence. Tess Roby acts as songwriter, producer, musician, music video and art director; and the album will be released on her own record label, SSURROUNDSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll this time alone, it has taught me one thing\u201d Tess Roby says, \u201cHow to feel alive.\u201d Ideas of Space pulls the listener into the artist\u2019s inner world; where the mind is a room and the body, a house. Dualities of light and dark, heavy and effervescent, physical and nonphysical pass back and forth into each other. Roby writes intuitively: her lyrics drift between dreams, memories and reality, and are brought to life by the rich intimacy of her voice. Circling loops of synth rise and fall alongside interweaving vocal patterns, building effortlessly to create minimal yet complex soundscapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From her debut album, Beacon <\/em>(2018), to Ideas of Space<\/em>, one can hear a growing confidence: the production is fuller-bodied and the structures more expansive. Inclusion of drums, woodwinds and cello from collaborators Austin Tufts (Braids), Joseph Shabason and Ouri add intricate textures to Roby\u2019s sonic landscapes. From the hypnotic urgency of title track Ideas of Space<\/em> to the cinematic ambiance of Euphoria in August<\/em>, the album shifts effortlessly from jubilant highs to contemplative lows, echoing the concepts of duality which run throughout the record. As the triumphant album cover announces, the music celebrates the flow of life in all its contradictions; her face bathed in light, her body framed in shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
