Though Olivier Ker Ourio's origins are decidedly Celtic, his ancestors emigrated from Brittany (northwest France) as early as 1728, to settle in a small French territory in the Indian Ocean: Reunion Island.
The influence of this cross-cultural heritage can be heard in Ker Ourio's compositions, which often make use of unhabitual rhythms and unusual melodic lines.
Olivier's choice of the chromatic harmonica may seem natural (he has played it since he was a boy), but it remains the mark of a certain artistic fearlessness, given that the instrument is very rarely used in jazz.
Ker Ourio's music makes full use of the chromatic scale, giving birth to an unexpected range of melodic complexity. Lyrical, sinuous, but also assertive, and often daring, Ker Ourio's phrasing demonstrates a strength and subtlety of expression rarely associated with the instrument.
The tonal depth and clarity the chromatic harmonica offers find perfect counterparts in Ker Ourio's passion and undeniable mastery. His compositions sing with an intangible quality that can only be described as poetic: a unique rendering of experience as sound, a song sung straight from the heart.
