Behind Virga is hidden the singular personality of Lionel Maraval, whose passion for music was born privately in his student room. He discovered the bewitching spleen of PORTISHEAD, the incisive guitars of THE PIXIES, and yielded to the scabrous arrangements of RUBY…

Desirous to build his own musical universe, he realizes his first tracks on his cousin’s 486 PC, borrowing samples from his multiple references. A computer, a few softwares, a mini-disc and a lot of sensitivity are enough for Virga to create complex compositions, between post electro and schizo ambient. Icy atmospheres, musical waves, strange and far coming sounds, create an abstract world made of right lines and perspectives, suddenly crossed by wasted feelings that break all logical architecture. Like a rebellious heart trapped in a cold brain cage…


Modest artist, totally disengaged of any commercial proceedings, Virga hesitated for a long time before deciding to entrust his universe to our structure. Only many long discussions with his friends and admirers succeeded in convincing him to the necessity of sharing his creations.


We do believe in him and we hope it will be the same for you.
