Biographie
Delicate, intense, cinematic, Jordane Tumarinson's neoclassical instrumental music can be qualified by many adjectives. However, if we were to find its roots, we'd have to look moretowards care, generosity and freedom.
Jordane Tumarinson inherited his artistic sensibility from his father, a photographer, and his great grandmother, a pianist and opera singer. However, it wasn't until the age of 19, lost in the meanders of an economics degree that oppressed and bored him, that he finallysat down at the family piano and discovered his true talent. Immediately, he realized thatmusic could not be learned from books or music theory lessons, but by listening and feeling. Quickly, he started to play by ear the tunes of his favorite bands, from Pink Floydto Radiohead, and later on went on to cover classics by Chopin, Beethoven and Schubert.
Caught up by his obligations, and encouraged by the example of a physiotherapist brother,Jordane Tumarinson began studying osteopathy a few years later. Caring for others was the primary driving force behind this choice, which led him to abandon the piano for manyyears. However, while his sensitivity to others only grew stronger with time, the dailypractice of his profession weighed heavily on his mental health. With the weight of toomany expectations on himself, and pressure built up over the years, his anxiety disorder developed and worsened, culminating in a state of depression whose outcome seemed vague and distant.
Overwhelmed by despair, Jordane Tumarinson returns to the abandoned path of music out of vital instinct. Melodies escape from his head and vibrate under his fingers, guided by anintuitive and abundant inspiration. Far from the covers of his younger days, these areoriginal compositions that wash over across the keys with an unstoppable flow, releasingon their way the emotions long held back. Through his playing and creativity, JordaneTumarinson’s mind gradually heals, his anxieties settle on the piano and the frenetic rhythm of his thoughts finally slows down. More than the revival of an abandoned passion, it's a profound and lasting change in his life.
Jordane Tumarinson has forgotten nothing about caring for others, and if his compositions heal him, perhaps they can find other ears in pain elsewhere. However, anxiety remains the constant companion of his life, so it is impossible to carry them live and play them onstage. As a consequence, in 2018, he decides to share his tracks on all streamingplatforms. With no communication or entourage, his compositions, sometimes dreamlike, sometimes rhythmic, are met with a dazzling interest, carried by the power of digital, thatallows them to find an international audience. Finally, in 2019,Morphéewas born, a truedigital success now exceeding 12 million streams, and L'Envol, the album that paved the way towards European labels and definitively sealed Jordane Tumarinson’s change of life, with over 80 million streams to its name.
Hypersensitive and prolific, Jordane Tumarinson has been composing ever since he tookup the piano again. His need to process emotions through the notes, to surprise his listeners with unsuspected passions, to craft the good and the beautiful from the negative, are the driving forces behind his inexhaustible creativity. Sailing freely between neoclassical and romantic contemporary music, his influences are extremely varied and reflect his aversion to stifling predefined boxes. In life as in art, Jordane Tumarinson doesn't obey pre-established logics; he's an explorer, guided only by the compass of hissensibility. Proof of this is his project “Hoams”, created in 2023, which blends classical,rock and soul influences, and in which vocals freely blend with classical and electronic instruments.
Now supported by the well-known independent label Naïve Records and publisher WiseMusic, Jordane Tumarinson is about to unveil his most personal project, Océan, which retraces his story, track by track, as if along the water: that of a castaway and his quest fora stable and fertile archipelago.
