Flora Hibberd
Swirl
22Twenty
“Flora Hibberd’s debut album, "Swirl", is a rich tapestry of sound and meaning, influenced by her background as a translator.
The Paris-based British songwriter uses her experience to explore the nuances of language, decoding the slippages where English and French intertwine. These linguistic intersections become moments of strange poetry, revealing hidden threads of life and deepening our understanding. Hibberd’s songwriting process involves searching for jarring words and natural language breaks, mirroring the framework she uses as a translator to understand how symbols and meanings shift.
"Swirl"'s 11 tracks are infused with secret codes, non-verbal signifiers, and intricate musical layers. Hibberd sees "Swirl" as a meditation on communication, particularly the transmission of songs as ephemeral, time-specific art. It’s an exploration of how music democratizes voices, capturing fleeting moments that might never occur again.”
