Gisèle Pape in concert
As part of the Monte le son Ô féminins festival
Médiathèque Marguerite Duras (Paris 20th)
About
She loves the age of the forest, the whirlwind of disco balls, and making people dream and dance.
A singular artist, Gisèle Pape weaves dreamlike and sensitive songs about intimacy, nature, and questions the kind of society we want, both individually and collectively.
Her voice, sometimes spoken and percussive, sometimes fragile and ethereal, traverses her tracks with great sincerity, questioning our relationship with the present and the future: the feeling of stagnation in the face of our society's upheavals, dreams of utopias and struggle, or the bonds that unite individuals, between power and freedom, hope and friendship. Radiant and committed, with a direct and poetic writing style, her music invites us to dance into new possible futures.
Her second album, Disquette, was released in January 2025.
« A 'fff' record » Télérama
« A crazy uniqueness and a fascinating strangeness. » Libération
« A subtle combination of pop and experimental electro, where poetry and words sublimate both the intimate and nature. Mesmerizing. » France Inter – Côté Club

Gisèle Pape
A singular artist, moved by a gentle strangeness, Gisèle Pape's career has intersected classical organ training, film studies at the École Louis Lumière, and the practice of lighting. An insatiable explorer of words and sounds, she weaves spaces of reverie and re-enchants the fragilities of this world.
Between hypnotic pop and experimental electro, her first two records, Oiseau and Caillou, took us into nocturnal landscapes populated by fragile bodies and trackers in search of the lost immensity of the plains.
Gisèle Pape returns with a second album, Disquette, a pop album with a strong electronic influence, released on January 31, 2025, and mixed by Ash Workman (Metronomy, Christine and the Queens, Malik Djoudi). Now a seasoned producer, Gisèle Pape blends electronic pop compositions with rhythmic and poetic writing.
With this new album, she navigates between dance-floor passages, trap rhythms, bright melodies, and catchy choruses, all carried by a voice that is at times sensitive and crystalline, at others percussive. Committed and optimistic, Disquette invites us to dance into new possible futures, linking the intimate to the political, to better redraw the contours of the word "we".
"A musical proposal without equal in the French-speaking scene." for FrancoFans.
"A formidable musician at the origin of top-flight electronic music, Gisèle Pape breathes a rare originality into the current pop musical landscape. (...) A stunning poetry." for Madame Figaro.
