Much more than a mere sound object based on an album concept, Cocoon can be read as a global artistic project. Cocoon's show "We need a volunteer" first looks like a classic concert of electronic music (with a table, a chair, a computer, and video on a screen) before it becomes - through a succession of changes - a show close to a performance, asking for an active participation of the public, banishing the passive listening of laptopers. The stage disposition creates a real contrast with the characteristic immobility of electronic music concerts, and definitively places itself at the crossing point of image, sound and live show, for a moving transdisciplinarity.
Since its creation in 2004, Cocoon has participated to the festivals Nowa Fabryka (Bytom, Poland), Emergences/Villette Numérique (Paris), Nuit Blanche (Paris), EmoSon (Bourges), Salon Light (Paris). He has been criticized in Libération, on Arte.tv, in the magazines Mouvement, Télérama, The Wire, on France Culture... His second album, "More Violent Days Are To Come" (Optical Sound), has been nominated for the Qwartz Electronic Music Awards 2006/2007.
