Emmanuelle Parrenin, Delphine Dora & Mocke

This musical project was born out of a shared desire to blur the lines. To evoke song without ever sticking to it. To approach tradition by transcending it, making it porous, malleable, and open to abstraction, dreams, and intuition.

After two albums as a duo—Le Corps défendant (Okraïna, 2017) and L’Invisible est multiforme (By The Bluest of the Seas, 2022)—Delphine Dora and Mocke continue their journey together with a renewed ambition: to invent a free form, somewhere between spectral song and intuitive music, between composition and improvisation.

The participation of Emmanuelle Parrenin—a leading figure in experimental folk and an unclassifiable musician (hurdy-gurdy, Vosges spinet, harp)—brings an additional dimension to the duo. A singular, embodied presence, a living memory of traditional music, and a distinctive voice that anchors the project in history while offering it new poetic horizons.
