It’s hard to stay indifferent when listening to “Legacy of Marble”. From the very first note, Noctæra sweeps us into a universe as enigmatic as it is addictive. The opening track, sharing the album’s name, hits instantly: a pure, almost otherworldly voice rises over an intense guitar and mysterious rhythms. It’s beautiful, powerful, and above all, it makes you want to get lost in this sonic journey without ever looking back.
The nine tracks that follow only confirm the obvious: Noctæra has that rare gift of making each song stand out, while still weaving a strong and cohesive identity. Here, musical boundaries simply don’t exist—English blends with French, rock collides with hybrid folk, and medieval tones meet modern textures. We’re caught off guard by tracks like “Trouble Ballade”, poetic and ungraspable, or “Synaptic Rebellion”, where metal bursts in with raw intensity. And then comes “Pas Le Bruit Du Vent”, closing the album on a mystical note, with ethereal strings and a voice that both soothes and captivates.
What’s truly fascinating about Noctæra is her complete artistic vision: songwriter, composer, producer, and graphic designer, she shapes her craft as a full experience, fusing narrative, aesthetics, and innovation. Her hybrid style shows a fearless creative freedom. By embracing emerging tools like AI, she doesn’t strip away the soul of her music but instead heightens its precision and emotional depth.
In a world overflowing with new artists, Noctæra shines with rare singularity. “Legacy of Marble” is a musical revelation, a work that surprises, challenges, and enthralls with every listen. An invitation to follow an artist whose universe is only beginning to unfold.
“This project was created with deep passion and relentless dedication, with everything that I am. It took me a year to finalize the album, going through countless variations and spending endless hours listening, refining, and polishing—so much so that it’s now hard for me to step back and look at the finished result objectively. The writing is personal; I’m not trying to fit into any box. I’m a solitary person, and I only draw inspiration from what I live or dream. I create to externalize and to share, and I’m truly happy to finally let you discover my work, while curious to read your feedback. Legacy of Marble is meant for an open-minded audience, one that seeks intimate songs. Some tracks explore unsettling themes, hidden beneath double meanings or poetic turns of phrase. Enjoy listening.” Noctæra.
