BACKGROUND
:
I am a French soprano / tenor saxophonist, Clarinetist
and composer of electronic music and jazz.
I started to get into electronic sounds playing
live with various DJs, then I 've written my
own electronic compositions exploring eclectic
beats and a wide array of sounds and influences,
includimg snippets from field recordings and
recycled voices of friends and family. I 've
called this musical exploration ‘From Ka’lei’
(ka’lei, Greek root of the word Kaleidoscope)
to summarise my approach with live electronic
performances in general and as well as with
studio compositions.
I ‘ve played live under the name of Etmo
with a changing line-up of collaborators including
Mauro Cassavetz: Electronics + FX, keyboard,
vocal, melodica and/or Oskar Vizan on laptop
and FX, (previously I've been playing with Sio
B'baas). I perform live playing soprano, tenor
saxes, clarinet, ethnic flutes, percussion,
kaos pad.
In May 2004 I have released and produced my
first album ETMO "From Ka’lei".
Above on the right inside!! It includes a DVD
which is an interactive creation with 7 visual
artists. At the same time, I’ve also featured
on various electronic releases and collaborated
with several musicians and bands in London (Franck
Alba, Echoccult, Architeq,
Eyelead, Pulsar, Cassavetz…).
"In the Desert" came out in
April 2010, check above in the middle.
The Album "Silver Liquid"
is my first collaboration with Osk
under the project name Etmo meets Osk,
check it above on the left!
My electronic project to continue further
explorations is currently a collaboration with
Spanish electronic composer and producer
Osk (Oskar Vizan).

I 've performed as well in London with the singer
and guitar player Franck Alba (Piano
Magic, The Fire Flies).
I 've formed the music project, Bruits de
la Conversation "Les Retrouvailles",
with Map aka Olivier Lagodzki (trombone,
accordion, vocals, percussion and electronics)
based in Paris-Clamecy. Check the music for
these projets below on this page !!

BRUITS
DE LA CONVERSATION
J'ai formé le projet de musique
acoustique et électronique, Bruits De La Conversation,
avec mon ami musicien de longue date, Map
aka Olivier Lagodzki ( trombone, accordéon, chant,
percussions et électronique), avec lequel j'ai partagé
plusieurs aventures musicales dans le passé. Après
une première version acoustique et jazz de Bruits
De La Conversation " Les Retrouvailles " (voir
vidéos plus bas), le projet se mue en trio en 2015,
avec la venue de Kirtan aka Christophe Roux dit Riche
(Guitare acoustique, Voix). Bruits De La Conversation, constitué
du trio Etmo-Map-Kirtan aborde un répertoire
très vaste aux influences sonores multiples (chanson,
jazz, gypsy music, rock, folk, punk, électronique,
psychédelique, dub, électro-acoustique, bruitiste....
) et affirme un son original, explorant des classiques de
la chanson française, espagnole, et anglosaxonne,
dans un forma hybride qui laisse autant la place aux voix,
aux textes, qu' aux improvisations ou écritures instrumentales.
Les effects sonores électroniques complètent
le son général de ce collectif qui chante-joue
ses standards de la chanson, au sens très large du
terme" standards", dépassant les clivages
jazz, rock, chanson, bal.
C'est à Clamecy en Bourgogne, dans la Yourte du Pont
Picot de Map aka Olivier Lagodzki, que Bruits De La Conversation
a fait plusieurs séries d'apéro-concerts cette
année, immergeant le public dans son univers sonore;
partageant une aventure musicale sans frontières;
réminiscence et création entrelacées,
et le plaisir de voyager dans l'espace temps par le son,
le texte. Vous avez les morceaux au dessus!

I formed the project of acoustic
and electronic music called Bruits De La Conversation, with
a longtime friend musician of mine, Map aka Olivier
Lagodzki (trombone, accordion, vocals, percussion and electronics),
with whom I shared many musical adventures in the past.
After a first acoustic jazz version of the band (see videos
below), the project turns into a trio with the arrival of
Kirtan aka Christophe Roux dit Riche (Acoustic Guitar,
Vocals). Bruits De La Conversation as a trio Etmo- Map-Kirtan
performs a wide repertoire with multiple sound influences
(chanson, jazz, gypsy music, rock, folk, punk, electronic,
psychedelic, dub, electro-acoustic, ....) and develops an
original sound, exploring some French song classic, Spanish
song, and Anglo-Saxon song, in a hybrid form which leaves
as much room for voice, text, than the instrumental writing
and improvisations. Electronic sound effects enhance the
overall sound of the band, playing "standards",
surpassing jazz, rock, song, dance cleavages ...
It was in Clamecy in Burgundy, in the Yurt of Map aka Olivier
Lagodzki that, Bruits De La Conversation made a series of
concerts this year, immersing the audience into its sound;
sharing a musical adventure without boundaries; reminiscence
and creation intertwined; the pleasure of travelling in
the time space by the sound, the words. Check the music
above !
