Paris-based composer and sound artist MickaΓ«l Halley creates intimate sonic environments where field recordings, acoustic instruments and analogue synthesis intertwine. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Suzanne Ciani, Sofie Birch, or Claire Rousay, his work inhabits the porous boundaries between ambient, experimental electronics, minimalism and folk.
Azura unfolds as a collection of intimate sonic vignettes, each one tracing the emotional imprint of a lived moment. Built from field recordings, acoustic instruments, modular synthesizers and a Yamaha DX100, the album inhabits a space where ambient music, minimalist repetition, experimental electronics and fragile folk gestures quietly converge. Rather than telling stories, these pieces evoke them, like sonic poems rooted in lived moments and quiet observation.
Recorded between 2022 and 2025 in a bedroom studio in Paris' 18th arrondissement, the album was captured primarily on a Tascam 424 four-track cassette recorder. The limitations and texture of tape became an essential part of the creative process, encouraging instinct over perfection. Some pieces were later digitally arranged, preserving the fragile balance between immediacy and precision.
Throughout Azura, recurring bass motifs, drifting harmonies and environmental recordings open contemplative spaces where light slowly emerges from obscurity. The expansive narrative of Because of a Sun, the radiant warmth of Azura3, the spectral voices inhabiting Glow, and the nostalgic shoreline memories of This Time all contribute to an album that moves with quiet patience, inviting slow listening.
The album's visual world is entrusted to French ceramic artist Marie Biaudet, whose sculptural reliefs and ceramic works draw on the language of the decorative arts to imagine dreamlike domestic spaces inhabited by hybrid landscapes, mutable flora and fauna, and elusive anthropomorphic figures. Her practice navigates the threshold between the familiar and the imagined, constructing intimate refuges where everyday architecture quietly gives way to fantasy.
Beyond the cover artwork, Biaudet created Azura, a handcrafted ceramic sun pendant conceived as a tactile extension of the record. More than a companion object, it embodies the album's central motif: a fragile light emerging through blurred memories, imagined spaces and shifting perceptions. Together, the music, the artwork and the pendant form a single poetic constellation, inviting the listener not only to hear Azura, but to carry a fragment of its world.
