A Sculpture In A Song From The Epic Mathis Akengin With Mer D’hiver

24/9/2025

Mathis Akengin
Mer D’hiver
France

A slowed down ocean and waves you can almost walk on, Mer D’hiver stands alone on the horizon as the sparkling new single from Mathis Akengin. The mesmerism of the storm as its clouds funnel and collide with invisible fields of tension, the majesty of the oeuvre that reflects all within frequency and lyric, filtered through an artistic mind of passion and flair. Featuring the vocals of Claire Passard, Akengin reveals a poetic duality within the portrayal of nature’s contrarian forces. As the water builds around us, and the ocean moves beyond measure, we can hear the lashing of thunder crawling ever closer on lanes lined with lightning and song. Here is one now.

It opens with a solitary folk vocal, the Français lingering like snowflakes on a steady breeze. Bass and subtle drums reveal a pulse, like a mechanical artwork, the music begins to tick and turn as the vocal adds colour and effervescence. A delicate mix of masculine and feminine sprinkles vocals into a framework of beauty and charm, The Winter Sea, Mer D’hiver, its oceanic freeze calming us as the symbolic melodies reveal nostalgic and emotional dream sensibilities. Longing for balance yet captured in the twist of nature’s fingers, Mer D’hiver glows and subsumes in its minacious equality.
