About Me
Hervé Renard begins his course in 1984, as a musician of international Pop-Rock varieties on the scenes of the area of Picardy_France. Its musical formation starts near the Musical Institute of Creil, to continue a few years later, first of all, in Musicollège "Ars-Nova" of Paris_rename today Ecole ATLA
[ study of the current musics, composition, arrangement ] then, to the CIM of Paris [ study of the jazz musics & Improvisation ].
Impassioned by the universe of the studios of recordings, it passes its diploma for the occupation of technician of audio-visual to the CREAR .
A little later, it collaborates with the Musika studio of Paris, with artists of reputations such as: Manu Katché, Jean Yves d'Angelo (musicians of Michel jonasz, Sting, Peter Gabriel, Satriani, joni Mitchell)_François Feldman_Annie Cordie_Guesh Patti.
In 1993, it melts a school of music "Guitar-Musitech" in Chantilly(France), or it exempts a teaching open on an active pedagogy, and carries out formations of harmony, improvisation, data-processing musical creation and recordings. In parallel, it plays in various formations of modern jazz such as: "Satori" in 1989 _ "Azimuth" in 1991 _ "Syrinx trio" in 1993_"Alizé trio" in 1995; with which, it connects the services in club and concert halls. It prepares an album and a round in a style progressive-rock with the group "Tiemko" (label Musea Records). Following this first act discographic, it produces and records an album of jazz-fusion "Pick up & Choose" (Label Musea Records) under its own name, thanks to an audionumerical environment which it itself worked out.
Currently, it chairs association "Unit KYO", founded in 2002, whose artistic trajectory, based on the development of the chromatic Lydian concept of George Russell, moves towards the composition of works of contemporary musics and jazz intended for demonstrations événementiels. In 2004, it carries out the round "Paysaginnaire" in many club of Jazz of Paris ( Sunset, La fenêtre, la balle au bond, the archipelago. etc) for the account of Fabien Chouraki (Artiste_Label Soca-Disc) which mixes sound improvisations, treatments in real times, electronic & electro-acoustic musics, and finally, use of the family of the saxophones.
From 2005, it is devoted entirely to the writing of two albums solos, one in the form of trio from a point of view intimist and acoustics, the other with a direction plus fusion-jazz and electro-World music of the name of “Undulationâ€. Currently, he seeks contracts of production-diffusion, in order to emphasize this musical work: this is why, it calls upon various competences, means and vocations available within the cultural landscape French & European, to implement a suitable promotion…
To date, I would like to progress and meet more artists to enrich my vocabulary and my knowledge. Wishing to put to me at the service creators of values, I am persuaded that the human meetings are the best ferment for the development of profitable exchanges ......
