About Me


"After many months, the new website is up! It is still a work in progress, but give it a visit and let me know what you think: www.arianemahrykelemire.com The album has been recorded, mastered and mixed! It will soon be available for sale through the website. I’ll keep you posted..."
Ariane has just finished recording her first full-length album with acclaimed bassist and producer Mike Lent. She is one of the newest recepients of the Rowlco-Magic 99 project 10K20 grant.
Ariane vient de terminer l’enregistrement de son premier album (un album double) avec le réalisateur et bassiste Mike Lent. Le lancement aura lieu le 9 avril à Edmonton et le disque sera bientôt disponible sur le site web.
"Je passe beacoup de temps à rêver. Peut-être que j’ai une imagination un peu trop féroce. Des dialogues, de drôles de scènarios, des situations impossibles, des images qui viennent de nulle part... Comment faire pour transmettre les choses qui semblent si claires dans l’imaginaire sans qu’elles perdent leur saveur et leur sens? Des fois la musique aide à remplir les trous, à combler les silences pour concrétiser ce que l’on tente de communiquer. Du moins je l’espère...."
"I am a music junky. I want it to take me over, to lull me to sleep and to wake me from dreaming, I want it to push me, to drive me. and that’s what it does."
