Montreal-based musician Ambre Ciel has unveiled the music video for “eau miroir,” the second single from their upcoming album still, there is the sea, out this Friday via Gondwana Records.
A dreamy and hauntingly beautiful slice of modern piano pop, “eau miroir” drifts between ambient textures and emotional clarity, capturing a sense of introspective calm and quiet longing.
Also a staple to my favourite radio show on KEXP called Pacific Notions.
About the track by Ambre:
“I’ve been following Alex’s work for a few years, and even have one of her photographs in my studio,” shares Ambre.
“The space doesn’t have lots of windows but her photograph adds a lot of light to the space and makes it more inspiring.
I’ve collaborated with Alex in the past and appreciate how talented, sensitive and humble she is. Her filming approach is as slow as the world can be fast, she’s always noticing subtle elements in nature, light and beauty around her. As ‘eau miroir’ was inspired by the sun’s reflection on water, I couldn’t have thought of anyone else to direct this music video; this collaboration felt completely natural.”
“Since my practice is rooted in exploring the relationship between humans, the natural world, and the ecosystems we’re part of, it felt only natural to collaborate on this with Ambre,” notes the Dozois. “The vastness I felt when listening to ‘eau miroir’ really spoke to me. I immediately sensed a deep connection between the song and the intentions that guide my practice. The clip is an attempt to depict the world within her mind, where nature, water, and cycles are central themes. I wanted the music video to feel like a visual meditation that encompassed those themes, as well as the dreams and quiet, blurred tension of standing on the edge of change. Inspired by the song’s water motif, it was also important to me that the imagery unfold in a fluid, abstract way.”
