Émile Sornin is a relentless explorer of genres and influences, from experimental chanson to psychedelic pop, from music video director to instrument tester (Le Bon Coin Forever documentary). This composer, multi-instrumentalist from La Rochelle had first demonstrated the importance of revisiting 70’s psychedelia in his debut album Rhapsode, released in 2014 on Born Bad Records.

After his collaboration on Charlotte Gainsbourg’s album Rest, Émile Sornin is back again at the machines, from which he extracts surprising sounds. His interest for 70’s film soundtracks, jazz and progressive rock marks his 2017 production, La Pantoufle, a mix of influences ranging from Jacques Tati’s psychedelic touch to Vladimir Cosma, François de Roubaix or Jean-Claude Vannier.
