“Ballade de l’anamour” - A song that doesn’t ask for attention, but earns it.

Circanium is a French ensemble that works with music and focuses on storytelling, movement, and emotion. Instead of pursuing spectacle, they heavily concentrate on human connection, living experience, and the poetry of imperfection. Their unique style of French chanson is very personal and modern, which is influenced by live concerts and communal environments. Circanium doesn't sing a song; they live it, and turn it into a personal, delicate, and heartfelt moment.
"Ballade de l’anamour" is not a declaration but a calm conversational exchange.
The song is essentially an acoustic guitar that, through its tender and soft play, gives the whole composition a slow breathing effect and therefore the silence and pause become as important as the sound itself. A quiet and melancholic trumpet sound is a kind of memory that has long been forgotten; it runs through the melody and gives a nice feeling without overshadowing the delicacy of the song. It appears that the vocal duet is deliberately imperfect, two voices intertwining and separating, sometimes touching and sometimes missing, which is a metaphor for the ambiguity of love. There are some elements of classic French chanson, but Circanium manages the text in such a way that it remains contemporary.
