Non-binary artist Bilou plays between practices, at the intersection of the mediums of music and image. It's about looking within their music, and the voice that rises from the images they make or glean from their inner circle. They compose electronic music with a mutant, intimate structure, written in inclusive French, a pop emotion held in check by the karchers of harmonizers. As a koala on his microphone, his skin-deep notes flay as he points a finger at the disguises of patriarchy that have made their voice deep. It chafes all the way back to childhood, in the radical treble of a‧e child ram imitating a baby wolf to lighten the gravity. Pitchy colors that swim among choruses that still hope. Bilou (Dricot) is a Belgian musician, visual artist and director. They began their career as a photographer before moving on to direct music videos for several years (Flavien Berger, Etienne Daho, Robbing Millions...). During confinement, they began to take an interest in music production and singing. They make their own video-clips based on their music, and offers a live experience surrounded by images, somewhere between a concert and a dancing cinema. They opened for Flavien Berger on several dates in 2023. They are also a member of Fortune Collective, an inter-disciplinary collective based between Belgium and France, which includes the group UTO, with whom they regularly collaborate. They released their first track “Picoti” in September, arranged with them and featuring a video clip with Neysa, half of UTO. Their debut album was released at the end of 2024.

Hyrel Venn’s music stands as pop experimentation. Carried by a nocturnal, hyper-sentimental tone, they explores concrete sound materials and deconstructs them to compose dreamlike microcosms that turn into songs. Their first EP, Sylph, was release in fall 2024. With meticulously crafted lyrics, Hyrel Venn stages a psychological imaginary from which emerge enchanting melodies where the voice sounds like a ghost in a melancholy landscape.
