Ambre Ciel is a composer and singer from Montreal, Canada, and a purveyor of dreamy, expansive, and spacious music. Her sound draws inspiration from an array of contemporary classical, impressionist and minimalist artists.

She began her musical journey learning violin at six, then later, began experimenting with pedal effects and looping melodies. It was when studying at university that she started to explore composing and songwriting more deeply, not just the world of sound itself, but songs built with layers of violin and voice. She then returned to her ‘first instrument’, the piano, opening even more harmonic possibilities.

'still, there is the sea' is the debut album from Ambre Ciel, on Gondwana Records, at once self-contained, fragile, mysterious but open and honest. Here she has crafted a beautifully refined album, making space for string arrangements and other acoustic instruments as well as her own voice, singing in both English and in her native French.
