«I just want to make the music I love, without asking myself if it's gonna be too complex or too far from what people like. I want to make the music which has sense to me, with no restrictions, like a big party with metalheads, electronics nerds, classical and baroque-heads and gypsy violinists getting drunk and joining together to bring the best of every genre.»
— Gautier Serre
Initially influenced by the likes of Meshuggah, Chopin, Cannibal Corpse, Bach, Domenico Scarlatti, Taraf de Haidouks and Aphex Twin, traces of these artists can be found littered across Igorrr’s discography, but Serre has never been interested in remaining static or merely recycling ideas, and his work has dramatically evolved accordingly. It deeply explains how Igorrr’s music is such an explosion of creativity while keeping a cohesive universe records after records.
In recent years, Igorrr has also become a collective, rather than the work of one man alone, which has brought a new level of intensity into the group live representations.
He released Nostril (2010) and Hallelujah (2012) on Ad Noiseam. And Savage Sinusoid (2017) on Metal Blade Records.

The lyrics to Igorrr's song Tout Petit Moineau are a mix of made-up language and some French. The song starts with "Ïen cïe ïu folo mi duri" which is the equivalent of gibberish, without any actual meaning in any language. As the song continues with "Dir luni, In ma ïon dor" it becomes clear that the language used is an invented one, inspired perhaps by French, but not solely based on it.
The general tone of the lyrics is quite dark and mysterious, with lines like "Miseri, Milisi" which translate to "Misery, Militia." The song tells a story of suffering and violence that takes place in an unknown location, with its own customs and language. The line "Mi mali sorta li, Ma li suit uli, Ir in mali, Mi oror suit urt" could mean that the singer of the song has found themselves in a bad place, they are following someone who is leading them deeper into misery, and they feel that they have no choice but to continue on this path.
Overall, the song's lyrics are open to interpretation, but they convey a sense of despair and confusion that is quite effectively conveyed through the invented language used.

I don't know which scenario hurts more... the fact that I won't find a song that's just as haunting as this, or the fact that I can't listen to this the first time ever again.
@miki890098
I don't think just one listen would be enough to fully appreciate it though, I'm grateful for having passed through the process of learning to love this kind of music :)
