Maxence Cyrin spends his childhood behind a piano studying classical music. Come adolescence, however, and everything changes. A convert of new wave sounds, he records his first tunes at 18 years old. At the same time, he discovers Techno and becomes actively involved in the scene, releasing many records on independent labels.
Several years after, he has the idea of covering techno hits into piano solo. He talks about his project to DJ Laurent Garnier, encounted at Radio Nova, where he works. This one is amazed and sign him on his dance oriented label Fcom. “Modern Rhapsodies” is the first 100% acoustic release on the label. The medias are enthusiastic and one compares his music to Philip Glass, Michael Nyman or Erik Satie.
With « Novö Piano », produced by Marc Collin (Nouvelle Vague) on Kwaidan Records, Maxence Cyrin is still defying the conventions, reinventing, still solo on the piano, indie-rock and electro’s emblematic songs. With his Sophisticated harmonies, rythm changes, cinematic atmospheres, “Novö Piano” makes one think of about Debussy, Ravel or Frederic Chopin.
Maxence's live sets are unique. His setlist is a mix electro and 80's hits, rock anthems but also improvisations, entertainement. you may see him hands above the head, beaming grin type attitude or softly highlighting the melancholy of the melody.
Successively dramatic, lyric, impressionist, Maxence pushes away the limits of the cover by making it a true art.
Résumé des épisodes précédents : Les avis sont partagés au sein du groupe quand aux influences réelles de nos amis musiciens. JL assume Gérard Lenorman comme déclencheur de son goût pour la scène. Sofff voue un culte immodéré à Mylène Farmer. Paco décroche son Téléphone et Pedro fredonne la Compagnie Créole… Snifff (le chat) de son côté se repasse en boucle la 7ème symphonie de Beethoven dirigée par Furtwängler au Royal victoria Hall en 1949. Palem seul considère que Sonic Youth est le chaînon manquant. Est il le dernier des rockeurs ? Pour ce qui est de la direction artistique des nouveaux morceaux le mystère restera donc entier… Vous en saurez plus au Rigoletto le 14 novembre pour un concert plein de nouveautés, en compagnie des splendides Twins sisters et des non moins magnifiques Bagro’s (337 rue de Belleville 75019 Paris métro Porte des Lilas, à partir de 20h, 5 euros seulement mais c’est une peccadille).
