Delphine Dora & Half Asleep. You're not mad, you're just lonely (We Are Unique Records – 2012)You’re not mad, you’re just lonely is a full-length recording from the duo Delphine Dora & Half Asleep. Together, the French and Belgian musicians crafted an album of startling pop songs, with classical, experimental and contemporary influences, taking an obvious pleasure in their collaboration while seeking to push forward the boundaries of their respective universes.uring the session, they invoked the literary spectres of playwright Sarah Kane, writer Janet Frame, famous wife and letter-writer Zelda Fitzgerald, or of Beckett’s fictional character Molloy... he result is a spontaneous and somewhat heterogeneous collection of songs centred on the piano and vocal, and that will take the listener to a variety of enchanted, amusing or terrifying places. see : We Are Unique Records |

Delphine Dora, A Day in Contrast (2011)Delphine Dora : piano, vocals, midi files « Son disque, malgré cette froideur apparente, est terriblement humain, fait de fulgurantes beautés et d'imperfections. Un disque modeste qui ne cherche en aucun cas l'esbroufe mais s'aventure à pas de loup vers des paysages peu visités par des musiciens français actuels. » (The beauty of sadness) |

Dora'li, Saeglin' (2008)Delphine Dora : piano, vocals, percussions, objects, vibraphone « Dora'li have succeeded in creating an entirely new music here and I have no idea how to classify it...nor do I care to do so. There's the tension and release, a bit of sturm und drang and a shitload of good-natured fun free play. It gets better as it progresses and ultimately comes across as one big suite rather than a collection of 18 individual works. Regardless of how you assess it, this is an absolutely great recording. This is the sort of thing I've always wanted to hear but never knew existed. Bully for me...can't wait to hear more. A+ » (Heathen Harvest) |

Dora'li, Unreleased tracks (2007) Delphine Dora : piano, vocals, percussions, objects, vibraphone Dorali is the musical collaboration between delphine dora and 'li. It's an improvisation project which consists mainly on our two voices together, and our 4 hands playing the piano. Sometimes, delphine plays the piano, while 'li sings. Sometimes, it's the contrary. SÆIEGLÎ:N , our first record, is the result of three afternoon of improvisations (between february and april 2007). Vocalizations between whispers and shout, wordless and imaginary langage, avant-garde piano playing and ethnic primitive sounds: it's almost what you can hear in this adventurous and free record which explore the different sides of voice and musical exploration. |

Delphine Dora and the Unexpected, We're all of this (2007)Trio composed by Delphine Dora, Half Asleep and Jullian Angel In autarky and complete isolation for three days of improvisation, they declined a patchwork of heterogeneous and nevertheless complementary atmospheres that will call to mind Max Richter, Charalambides or Animal Collective. Composed and interpreted in a brilliant urgency, the 22 songs of " We're all of this " are as an ode to spontaneity. CD-R to buy on Bandcamp |

Delphine Dora, Confusion Of Myself (Greed Recordings- 2006)Delphine Dora : piano, vocals Après avoir publié ses premiers travaux dans la série des « Musiques en marge » d’Another record en 2005, cette activiste underground (Songs to the sirens, Another record) nous gratifie d’un « artwork » intitulé « Confusion of myself », surprenant, attachant et libérateur au travers de sublimes photos agrémentées de pièces très courtes improvisées au piano, immortalisées à l’ancienne sur un vieil enregistreur à cassettes, avec des mots de l’au-delà qui n’existent que dans son imagination et laissent ainsi libre cours à la nôtre.

Delphine Dora, Blablabla (2006)Delphine Dora : piano, vocals « As we listen on, one can almost hear echoes of old forgotten tunes. Yet, the music remains particularly elusive. This is also reflected in Delphine's piano playing and singing which often oscillate between pure wordless vocalizations and a series of ambiguous mumbles that sound like they belong to an existing language. Below the surface, there are these ghostlike melodies which now seem to rejoice to have finally been given a voice .. even if that cannot be really put into words... "blablabla". For the listener, this also means that it may be difficult .. at times .. to isolate a specific emotional colour, but it is exactly what makes this record so very special. People who are into the music of Josephine Foster, Islaja or Mary Margaret O'Hara should definitely check this one out. Simply beautiful.. » CD-r available on abaton book company |

Delphine Dora, For Christmas (2005)Delphine Dora : organ, vocals, objects « Six pièces de confusion et de déchirements condensés en deux ou trois minutes maximum, comme si l'urgence de tels sentiments refusait de s'inscrire dans la durée. Concision extrême et d'autant plus foudroyante donc, comme si la création portait en elle les stigmates d'une thérapie tout juste engagée. Aidée d'un petit orgue aux sons incongrus, parfois surannés ou sidéraux, d'un semblant de harpie, de batonnets et autres objets sonores non identifiables, la mee bruxelloise construit de monumentales miniatures, posant sa voix, ses râles et murmures avec force et justesse (d'oû une affiliation méritée avec Nico, Jarboe, Fursaxa, Christina Carter, Pantaleimon, Tower Recordings...). » (Amadeo/In_Tension) |
