« Those who provoke shipwrecks write their names only on water”
John Keats
When I was 13 and 14 years old, I used to compose strange songs to the poetry of Shelly and Keats.
And now, eighteen years later, here I am, preparing my first album of songs.
Rereading this quote from Keats, I keep thinking it was written just for me…
And it appears to me
That we are 
All at once – shipwreckers and shipwrecked.
That we throw a bottle to the sea
In the form of snippets of dreams,
remembrances, snippets of life, vibrations,
shreds of hope…
That music
Is born of silence and disappears into silence.
That the space between the two is filled with our inner shipwrecks,
But there is always a storm before the wreck.
And what is more beautiful than a storm at sea ?
Anahit Simonian
“ La pianiste française d’origine arménienne Anahit Simonian présente ici un travail profond et intimiste, avec des touches de musique orchestrale et de la musique ethnique.
On note en particulier la voix sensible de la chanteuse Gayanée Movsisyan, en combinaison avec des texte récités par A. Simonian dans une ambiance des timbres et couleurs impeccable, dans laquelle on distingue autant l’interprétation de la pianiste même, que celle des héros du jazz français, Sébastien Texier, Manu Codjia et Christophe Marguet.” mag.“JAZ”, Barcelone, juin 2009
