Marboss is a French synthesizer composer and sound designer.
Marboss discovered the electro-pop wave and new-wave at the beginning of 80's. In the middle of this decade, he produced his first electronic songs. He played private concerts in the surbubs of Paris.
During the acid/house period, Marboss was DJ'ing at student parties and had live programmes on the radio. During his computing studies at Staffordshire University, Marboss met with different DJ's et musicians of techno tribe, and he discovered samples handling with the first PC music tools (trackers).
It was in Paris in 99, during an open-day about « techno culture » organised by the Nationale Library of France, which was playing his first LP 'Musica Electronica' (then on the web few weeks later). During this manifestation, Marboss met with H. Maurel (Radio FG) and also E. Morand (FCommunication).
Marboss left Paris in 2001 to live at Juan les Pins (French Ibiza). In the pubs and clubs of côte d’azur his singles were popular dance floor favourites. This is when Marboss produced his second LP 'e-music' in collaboration with Millenium studio at Nice (France).
Journalist interviewed Marboss and the LP had good reviews in popular French magazines (Trax, Coda...). He performed a live radio show called 'Elektrochoc' each Saturday evening from 8 to 10, on Fréquence K radio (France). He presented his music on radio and in concerts.
Marboss produced in june 2003, a new demo of seven songs. He now lives in Moselle (France), and is currently working in Metz with 'Arts of Erebus' on their new project 'Messaia'.
In January 2007, he released a new single 'Train Grande Vitesse de l'Est' which is becoming the official music for the TGV-Est in Lorraine region (the fastest train in the world !).
In June 2008, Marboss presents his new electronic concept called electrotherapies. During more than one hour, MARBOSS invits you to discover his various states of mind: dream, distress, journey, religion, sadness, sex... One can notice here the use of synthetic layers, simple and catchy melodies, rhythms enriched by electro-acoustic sounds, and minimalistic vocals sung or rendered by a vocoder.
This new album is a quiky mix of influences that should please the fans of KRAFTWERK, Jean-Michel JARRE, DEPECHE MODE or MOBY.
A real surprise to be discovered !
Marboss in concert at La Laiterie at Strasbourg (France) :
For beauty being the best of all we know Sums up the unsearchable and secret aims Of nature, and on joys whose earthly names Were never told can form and sense bestow...
A little bubble Once came sailing by, And thus to the rock Did it gayly cry, See my rainbow-robe, See my crown of light, My glittering form, So airy and bright. You shall move for me; And you shall not mock At the words I say, You ugly, rough rock. Be silent, wild birds! While stare you so? Stop laughing, rude waves, And help me to go!
