When Mat3r Dolorosa is asked to describe her album, a single, concise and enigmatic phrase emerges: "In a Noisy Blast is born a Road to Light." Enigmatic, yet it says it all. First, the assumed but humble reference to Milton and his *Paradise Lost*, in that it evokes both the journey and the origin, the creation. Crossed paths and figures: that of the human, and their chaotic accomplishment, or of Lucifer, angel of light cast down to the abyss. Who is, in the end, the true "Son of Light"?
As for the "Noisy Blast," it is a creative breath as much as an elimination. To understand is to deconstruct, to eliminate pretense, misleading, superfluous, parasitic elements, to reach the truth of a thing. This violent breath is therefore also a search, a quest for understanding, for meaning. To find one's way through the darkness, and to understand one's own path by connecting separate elements to achieve a global vision. A theme dear to the artist - an architect in civilian life - the relief (of the music as well as the cover) takes on its full meaning here: the peaks are as important as the troughs, just as light forms a complete design only with the shadows it generates.
Mat3r Dolorosa plays with these back-and-forths and their fragile margins that easily tip us over, or make us grasp only a part of a whole. Thus, her melodies, undergoing infinite variations of sounds, textures, and rhythms, metamorphose, imposing completely different feelings and understandings of the whole.
