"Chauveau has a peculiarly French knack of locating the seeds of enigma in ostensibly insignificant and incidental details. His music is sparing, unassuming and accordingly effective." (The Wire, UK)
"Paris-based Sylvain Chauveau makes a delicate, piano-based music, equal parts Harold Budd and claude Debussy." (Mojo, UK)
"One thing minimalist music does is savor the silence between musical notes by eliminating any sound deemed unnecessary to convey the essential emotion. Sylvain Chauveau is a minimalist." (The Washington Post, USA)
"The instrumental international incarnate by Clogs, Sylvain Chauveau or Dakota Suite is too heterogeneous to be seen as a movement, but ample enough to sweetly transform the musical landscape." (Vibrations, Switzerland)
"The subtle pop of Mark Hollis, the electroacoustic of Pierre Schaeffer and the minimalism of Erik Satie united in an enterprise of moral integrity." (Go Mag, Spain)
"Depuis la première écoute souffle en nous cette musique de longue haleine, savante et sauvage, libre enfin". (Télérama, France)
"Des effets de profondeur sidérants, qui en renforcent la beauté et allongent la portée". (Les Inrockuptibles, France)
"How the light" and "Aberdeen" are songs by FELICIA ATKINSON (spoken words), with Sylvain (electric guitar).
FIRST ALBUM "ROMAN ANGLAIS" (CD) OUT NOW on O ROSA records.
