Ouri

Ouri is a Montreal-based multi-instrumentalist, producer, and DJ whose work represents a sophisticated fusion of classical pedigree and contemporary electronic experimentation. Born in France with South American roots, her formative years were shaped by a diverse range of influences, from the ambient jungle sounds of Guyana to rigorous training in piano, cello, and harp.

This background allows her to approach electronic production with a composer's ear, layering complex harmonic structures over unconventional rhythmic foundations. Her career arc shows a steady progression from the 'laboratory' style of her early releases like 'Superficial' toward a more cohesive, high-concept art pop aesthetic seen in 'Frame of a Fauna'. Critically, she is positioned alongside artists like Tirzah and Smerz, part of a wave of producers deconstructing the boundaries between R&B, club music, and avant-pop. Her sound identity is defined by 'liquid' textures, the prominent use of orchestral instruments in electronic contexts, and a distinctive vocal treatment that favors atmosphere over lyrical clarity. She remains a central figure in the Ghostly International and Make It Rain orbits, representing the cutting edge of the Canadian electronic underground.
