BIOGRAPHY

Since 2005, date when her first self-produced album "Mute" came out, Vale Poher never ceased wanting to bring her music to life, to push  further, to put herself into question and to try new artistic  experiences in collaborating with other artists from different worlds.
Always keeping in mind the spirit of the Band " Music should never be harmless", she recorded two albums and two EPs between 2005 and 2009  (all directed by Bob X), fed on desires, of claimed influences and  this need to be curious and porous in the outside world.

"Mute" receives a good critical welcome, it is selected by Indétendances (FNAC), selection that allows the album to be  distributed throughout France.
Then, Vale Poher chains many solo dates, support acts (Troy von  Balthazar, Laura Veirs, Au revoir Simone ...) and festivals in France  and in Europe (Les Femmes s'en mêlent, Ladyfest, Bar en Trans ...).

2006 is the year of collaborations. Vale Poher is sought by other  artists. She explores the world of theater composing the original  music for a play, "Kostya", adaptation of  "The Seagull" by Chekhov,  by Vincent Roumagnac. Her creations are played live during 
performances that take place in Lyon and in Saint Etienne between  January and April 2007.

She also composes and records the soundtrack for the exhibition "Blue  Time vs. Suspense" of plastic artist Saadane Afif. This soundtrack is  published on the 3 tracks EP "Blue time vs. Suspense" that comes from  Optical Sound. In 2007 this collaboration continues : Vale Poher plays  live the soundtrack "Blue Time vs. Suspense" at the Rehearsal  performance in December in Miami (USA) as part of  the exhibition  "French kissin' in the USA", Art Basel Miami 2007.
The track "Blue time vs. Suspense" is also nominated to the 4th Qwartz  Awards in April 2008.

During winter 2006/07, Vale Poher records three songs. With the EP "3X2" she reassesses the dialogue guitar / voice adding  rhythmic and instrumental arrangements.
It is with this same desire to open up new perspectives that she offers to other artists  to work with her : Scalde (pop  electronica), Doctor Flake (abstract hip hop / downtempo) and Flore 
(breaks) revisit her tracks.
All three have played the game : from a vocal track and a guitar track  only, and without knowing the original song, they have created a  remix. The EP "3X2" is released in November 2007 in Blog up Music /  Kitchen Music / Pias.

 From September 2007, Vale Poher works on the recording of her second  album, "Tauten". With new experiences, the album is recorded with  bass / drums / guitar / electronic arrangements. We find Carine on bass ( singer of Spade and Archer, le Peuple de l'Herbe, Rzatz) and on drums Franck Laurino (Bastards, Zerö, Spade and Archer).

At the same time, Vale Poher spins off a live band made up of Carine  (bass) and Emily (drums) to defend "Tauten" on stage. Vale Poher  Group made its first live performance on March 29, 2008 at Centre  Pompidou during an evening "Tour de France". Since then, Vale Poher  Group has multiplied live shows in France, especially during the  Dandelyon Tour in spring 2009.

Meanwhile, the satellite projects succeed one another: during the  summer of 2008, Vale Poher records the soundtrack for the animated  film of Vergine Keaton Je criais contre la vie. Ou pour elle." ("I  shouted against life. Or for it."). Then, she gets the price of the  SACEM for the aid of music creation.
The film is selected and noticed in several festivals including the  Festival of Animated Film in Annecy (June 2009) and selected by the  ACID - Cannes Festival (May 2009).

Vale Poher also appears on the Mansfield last album TYA "Seules au bout de 23 secondes" Vicious Circle (Released in February 2009) for an unpublished duet, on the Doctor Flake "Minded Surprises" New  Deal / Differ-ant (Released in March 2009) and is present on the first  album of Flore of "Raw" released in October 2009 on the English label  Botchit & Scarper.

In September 2009, Vale Poher releases "Tauten", faithful to the DIY  tradition. After a numbered edition of 200 copies, a new one, fully painted and handmade, is available.

Vale Poher and her new "family", the Vale Poher Group, are currently  composing and working on the writing of a new album : a new direction.

I will work on it. It can be quite tiring and requires much sleep in order to grow the finest quality hair, but I am good at sleeping also. I am in training for the 2012 Olympics Marathon Sleeping event in which I hope to score at least silver.
