" Elull Noomi " est né de l'étroite collaboration entre Odile Fargère et Hervé Aknin. Leur première rencontre a lieu en 1993 : Ils sont co-fondateurs du groupe vocal Montpelliérain " Les Grandes Gueules ". Nous n'en sommes à cette époque qu'aux balbutiements de " l'a cappella moderne ", ou l'on se sert de la voix comme d'un instrument . Tout est à découvrir en ce domaine et ils s'engouffrent dans cette brêche, ouverte par des chanteurs tels que Bobby Mac Ferrin, Take Six, Sampling...pour ne citer que les plus grands !
Lignes de basses, percussions, riffs de cuivres et solos de guitares saturées..., ils expérimentent toutes les possibilités qu'offre la voix humaine ! Et dans tous les styles : Jazz, Salsa, Bossa, Funk, Classique...!
Suit une décennie où tous deux vont vivre différentes expèriences musicales...Mais ils se retrouvent régulièrement et chantent à nouveau ensemble dans le groupe
" Les Fêlés du Vocal ".
Animés par le désir d'entendre et de créer de nouvelles choses, ils décident de travailler sur un projet ou ils ne seraient limités par aucune contraine musicale ou littéraire ! Créer un espace sonore ou ils pourraient laisser leur imagination les guider...ils s'enferment alors et commencent l'écriture de ce qui va devenir " Elull Noomi ".
Hervé Aknin Laisse toutes ses influences se bousculer, s'entrechoquer puis finalement se mêler pour donner naissance à des pièces de musique de 10 à 20 mn ! Dans la grande "tradition" des musiques Progressives . Des harmonies riches et colorées, sur des rythmiques parfois légères et volubiles, parfois sombres et obsessionnelles !
De son côté, Odile Fargère réalise ce qu'elle a toujours voulu faire : inventer une langue !...Rien que ça !!! Un vrai langage, avec du sens, avec lequel on peut vraiment communiquer...
Une à une elle renomme chaque chose en " Elull Noomi ", qui signifie " le langage de la vie "...Du Soleil à la Lune, en passant par l'Amour et tous les élèments ...Le Langage est tantôt Cristal et Pierre, tantôt Souffle et Lumière...Il évolue jusqu'à donner naissance à un dictionnaire contenant tous les élèments linguistiques qui vont permettre de conter l'histoire...!
" l'Enfant assis au bord du monde, qui regarde..." .
Vient le moment ou les premières ébauches de musique et de texte se joignent pour former le " début d'un tout " ! Et à leur grande surprise, les deux élèments s'assemblent merveilleusement, comme les pièces d'un puzzle !

Six singers at the best of their vocal technique sing in an imaginary language and thus give a luminous “a cappella” production, which proves to be a truly obsessive and magical “spectacular trance”!
Elull Noomi stunningly masters the subtle art of vocal polyphony. The perfectly in tone six voices and their rhythmical precision are impressive. Right from the start, Elull Noomi set their standards so high that the band is already an absolute reference. They place themselves in the great tradition of Progressive Musics with their repetitive and stirring atmosphere, the way their voices complement each other, the fresh melodies and compositions and the beautiful solo flights. Remarkable by its rich and colourful harmonies, on rhythmics which is sometimes light and voluble, sometimes dark and obsessive, Elull Noomi’s music is a risky exercise which never begets dullness.
Biography
“Elull Noomi” was born from the close collaboration between Odile Fargère and Hervé Aknin. They first met in 1993 when they co-created the vocal band “Les Grandes Gueules” in Montpellier. At the time, it was only the beginnings of “modern a cappella”, where the voice is used as an instrument. Everything was still to be discovered in this field, and they stepped into the breach, opened by singers such as Bobby Mac Ferrin, Take Six, Sampling… to quote only the most famous!
They tried out all the possibilities offered by the human voice, like bass lines, percussion, brass riffs and solos of saturated guitars! And they did so in all the existing styles: Jazz, Salsa, Bossa, Funk and classical music…
Spurred by the desire to hear and create new things, they decided to work on a project where they wouldn’t be limited by any musical or literary constraint! To create a resonant space where they could let their imagination guide them…they then locked themselves up and started writing what would become “Elull Noomi”....
Hervé Aknin let all his influences, bump into one another, knock each other and finally merge to give birth to 10 to 20 minute-long compositions in the great tradition of Progressive Musics with rich and colourful harmonies, on rhythmics which is sometimes light and voluble, sometimes dark and obsessive
As far as Odile Fargère is concerned, she did what she always wanted to do: create a new language, a real and meaningful language which you can truly communicate with. One by one, she gave each thing a new name in “Elull Noomi”, literally “the language of life”…From the Sun to the Moon, via Love and all the Elements…The Language is sometimes Crystal and Stone, sometimes Wind and Light…It evolved until it gave birth to a dictionary containing all the linguistic elements necessary to tell the story…!

Many thanks for the add. Hope you enjoy the music and message behind it. My mission in life is to fight Human trafficking...understanding the individual pain of others is sometimes to painful for an other individual to touch and that is frightening ... what i mean is that someone whose life is not traumatized and brutalized as a regular sequence of every day events unconsciously seeks the camouflage and shelter of apathy and banality from the reality of such devastating anguish and terror ...but the spirit of young people who are used as sex slaves in the systematized global industry of human trafficking is now reaching out to the human fellowship in hope and desperation and through technology ...
it is scary when humanity turns a blind eye to this horror ...its like ignoring genocide whilst it is happening ...
what i am asking is that if you hear the cry of these young people who are existing in an environment of torture and brutality each and every day that you then please do not turn away from them ...
please reach deeply into your heart and soul and join a movement that challenges modern slavery in the 21st century ...
