Vrihi by Lorenzo Brilli, Pages Made of Sound
Lorenzo Brilli is not just a composer—he is a contemporary storyteller who uses sound as his language and rhythm as his syntax. In his latest album Vrihi, released by Esc.Rec, Brilli invites listeners into a world shaped by layers of texture, minimalism, folk traditions, and experimental electronics. The result is a sonic narrative that feels deeply rooted in the past yet strikingly modern. This is an album that demands to be experienced rather than simply heard.

Vrihi by Lorenzo Brilli
Vrihi, a Sanskrit word meaning "rice," is a sonic work that explores the expressive power of the human voice, conceived as a vessel of invisible memories and submerged narratives. In this piece, disparate voices are fragmented, manipulated, and reassembled into a complex acoustic tapestry, where subtle timbres and granular textures merge to generate unheard sonic forms.

When I first encountered the music of Lauré Lussier, I wasn’t prepared for how deeply it would stir me. There’s a palpable breath in his compositions—something alive, something not imposed but revealed, unearthed. Though I sensed the subtle hand of minimalism, what truly captivated me was how seamlessly he integrates orchestral language with natural and synthetic soundscapes. His works don’t simply use sound—they become it.
