Nuage Project, when Olafur Arnalds meets Cigarettes After Sex.
Formed in Budapest in 2021, Nuage Project is made up of singer Ildi Ferencz, composer and keyboardist Marc Charmet and drummer Péter Dohy.
All three come from completely different musical backgrounds, contemporary/alternative/rock/pop, so their music ranges from ambient to electronic, resulting in a sensitive and sophisticated sound, you could call it lyrical alternative.
They have already performed in various Budapest and rural venues, won the Szimpla Lemmings Dalok.hu award, their songs have been published by the Recorder, and their songs are played on the radio Tilos...
They write songs in English and French, but they also like to play covers... That's how they got their sound...
