Ourielle Auvé aka Ouri is a Montréal-based composer, producer and cellist whose music blurs the lines between classical tradition and electronic experimentation. Born in France to French and Afro-Caribbean parents, she moved to Montréal at 16 to study composition, quickly finding her voice within the city’s rave and underground scenes. Drawing from orchestral training and club culture, her sound is both intimate and expansive—anchored in the cello but propelled by textured synths and industrial edge.
There, in the infinite possibilities of digital sonority, Ouri takes R&B and house abstractions and transforms them with instrumental iridescences and inciting percussions. Maze (Make It Rain Records, 2017) and Superficial (Make It Rain Records, 2017) are albums full of pop smoothness with sharp edges carved by a risky and precise production, while We share our blood, her debut for Ghostly International, brings her most harsh and experimental side. Also, in these couple of years, Ouri’s tracks have been expanded to left-field club with remixes made by producers such as DEBBY FIRDAY, mobilegirl and Minimal Violence, meanwhile collaborations with Odile Myrtil, MUNYA and Mind Bath polish the pop diamond that hides inside Ouri’s music.
Ouri is presenting at MUTEK México a performance that feels both intimate and cinematic. Drawing from Frame of a Fauna, she crafts dense, emotional landscapes where cello, synths, and whispered vocals collide.
