About Me

Apres des etudes de percussions au conservatoire, Alcyon co-fonde Soungari, un trio dont il est alors batteur. L evolution du groupe vers un sextette le verra prendre les commandes de la programmation. Apres plusieurs voyages en Asie, il s etablit a Tokyo, ou il developpe differents projets artistiques, dont le plus personnel est sans doute celui-ci : creer une musique a la fois atmospherique mais terriblement concrete, betonnee, cimentee, (Journal). La presence de Tokyo n est certainement pas etrangere a cette litanie de sons apneiques, prenant le pouls d'un monde desincarne et lancinant de fievre (Jessore) mais ressuscitant, aerienne, au bout d'un tunnel de metro (Variation31). La musique d alcyon fait finalement la part belle a l oxygene comme moyen d'evasion, une remontee abyssale aux limites d un coma extatique, mystique, lumineux. JESSORE est tire d un poeme d Allen Ginsberg "Sur la route de Jessore", il est donc declame sans intonations comme le faisaient les auteurs de la Beat Generation-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------- After his percussion academy study, Alcyon formed with Laurent and Cyril, Soungari in which he played drums. As the band turned to a sextet, he becomes programmer. After several trips in Asia in moved in Tokyo where he developed many artistics projects whose this one might be the more personnal.JESSORE is from an Allen Ginsberg poem, called "September On Jessore Road "as the Beat Generation used to do, the poem is declaim without intonations.(Vincent Guidicelli).
