He is currently working on the development of Electric Suites, a Dj Set combining live instrumental and electronic music.
Playing in interaction with machines… learning to master their language… that is the challenge of Electric Suites… the sounds of traditional instruments closely intertwined with those of the electronic music… Folklore, Jazz, Beatmusic, traditionnal and ancient music, Electric Suites was inspired by this diversity in order to develop a new aesthetic, highlighting the profound aspirations of the creator and of the artist: to provide an artistic language that would be relevant to its time, while preserving a link to its past and origins.
Revitalised with each live concert, Electric Suites takes its routes deep in the past and traditions of music, in order to better reinvent, whilst making the listener’s body vibrate… at the same time as the musician’s one does!
