Laurence Revey

Laurence Revey, from Sierre in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, studied drama in Paris and opera singing at the Conservatoire de Lausanne. As a singer, she collaborated in 1997 with the British collective Transglobal Underground and recorded her first album Derrière le Miroir, an electronic collection produced with programmer and multi-instrumentalist Chris Birkett, followed in 1999 by Le Creux des Fées (Le Cliot di Tsérafouin), based on traditional French and Valaisan songs and music reworked with Gabriel Yacoub and Hector Zazou. This was the subject of a remix EP by Gus Gus, Bugge Wesseltoft, Nils Petter Molvaer, Mich Gerber and Transglobal Underground. In 2006, Laurence Revey's homonymous third opus saw the singer-songwriter collaborate with Arto Lindsay, Bardi Johannsson and Tony Levin, on original songs in English and French, as well as a cover of Serge Gainsbourg's "Requiem pour un con". After a contribution to the soundtrack of Richard Berry's film L'Immortel, with the main theme "Immortal " (2010), the artist recorded an album in London, published as a book-disc, Alpine Blues & Le Blues des Alpages (2016), featuring Gerry Leonard, David Rhodes, Tony Levin and authors Pete Brown (lyricist with the supergroup Cream) for the English lyrics and Joël Nendaz for those in Valais patois.
