Lecture / Meeting with Léonie Pernet

Composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, Léonie Pernet develops a deeply personal musical universe, oscillating between melancholy and exhilaration, at the ever-shifting crossroads of several territories (electronic, pop, film music …).
She deconstructs French pop, blends it, enriches it, and adds a touch of genius along with a hint of melancholy.
With one foot in electronic music and the other in pop songcraft, Léonie Pernet breaks boundaries between genres and disciplines, always wielding a poetic language that strikes straight to the heart. Following Crave (2018) and Le Cirque de Consolation (2021), her first two critically acclaimed albums, she will unveil her third album, Poèmes Pulvérisés, in early June 2025 on Crybaby and InFiné.
A third opus in which she shatters form, language, and composition, calling for awakening and a jolt of consciousness.

Léonie Pernet’s music is distinguished by a unique blend of percussion, analog synthesizers, and electronic textures, serving an intimate and political songwriting. Her compositions explore themes of grief, exile, transmission, and collective resistance, intertwining sound archives, vocals, and hypnotic rhythms. With Crave, she laid the foundations of an aesthetic combining rhythmic tension and synthetic melancholy; with Le Cirque de Consolation, she deepened a more narrative and memorial dimension, incorporating voices and references tied to the history of anticolonial and feminist struggles. On stage, she delivers an immersive performance where percussion plays a central role, asserting a physical and ritual presence that extends the emotional and political impact of her recordings.
