A few weeks back when i heard about the Rewire Festival and knew that the French Born Belgium based composers Sylvain Chauveau was going to be present i knew i had to go, im such a big fan of his piano based works and was with so much expectations on the start of the evening. Unfortunately there was no piano and was more a experimental drone with field recording micro sounds with some vocals, quite electro-acoustic orientated, the room and so still and so dark that had this filling that we were in some sort of sci-fi suspense [...]
Talk about a perfect pairing of music and album cover. This is some hyper-maudlin stuff that may be a shade of gray too far for some. Not me though. I like my emotionally manipulative sounds to be as heavy-handed as possible. I'm just not sure if the imaginary movie should take place in the countryside during the bleakest Soviet days or if it should follow the long, lonely retirement of a discarded stuffed animal. Suggestions? Sylvain Chaveau - Et Peu a Peu Les Flots Respira

One of my favorite contemporaneous modern classical composers the French born and Brussels based Sylvain Chauveau as now most of his impressive discography on bandcamp, most of it for really bargain prices that you can decide to buy or not after listening and directly for the artist. A new album and several collaborations were already announced and more Sylvain Chauveau wonders should be out soon. Nocturne Impalpable by Sylvain Chauveau Sylvain Chauveau @ the Rewire Festival November 4 in Den Haag

( email | facebook | twitter ) Christoph Berg. Danny Norbury. Sylvain Chauveau. Aaron Martin, Machinefabriek. Any terms come to mind? Even more than most writing is, music journalism is prone to excess. This column is as guilty as any, dropping phrases such as tectonic shift , one-man tsunami , tidal wave of strings and meltdown mode like minted coins. So instead of peddling in flourish, let us simply state the facts [...]

"It was expected that arbouse Recordings label, party over ten years the discovery through the world of music news, come to look to Erik Satie this precursor. As such, Cyril Caucat (label founder) approached Ornella Volta Chair of Archives Erik Satie (Paris). Since 2000 took place between Paris and Rodez an exchange of letters that eventually leads to disc as a tribute to composer. 'Les nouveaux jeunes' from all corners of the world (Chicago, New York Stockholm Berlin, London, Paris ...) will be heard through their music of Erik Satie news .. . Without forget the other side of modernity: [...]

Ровно год назад, тоже перед Днём Святого Патрика, один талантливый молодой человек выложил собственноручно сделанное видео на композицию «A Cloud of Dust» Сильвена Шаво. Чтобы погрузиться в гармонию получившегося сочетания, рекомендую выкроить десять минут, налить ещё чаю и устроиться поудобнее. К слову, альбом «Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated)», несущий эту композицию, также вышел на лейбле Type в марте прошлого года. Не знаю, как с погодой у вас, но «A Cloud of Dust» со своими депешмодовскими интонациями удивительным образом синхронизирует внутреннее состояние со снегопадом вокруг.

Après le succès incontestable de son album Impermanence , Agoria est de retour avec un EP dédié au titre Heart Beating. On peut le dire il s'agit de l'un des morceaux phare de l'album en collaboration avec Kid A avec qui il a travaillé également sur les très bons titres Lonely et Kiss My Soul . En bref, on retrouve sur l'EP le titre original débordant de précision pour une qualité sonore, accompagné des remixes d'une sélection d'artistes très bien sélectionnés par le dj/producteur avec notamment John Roberts et [...]

El autodidacta francés Sylvain Chauveu ha demostrado una predilección por el silencio en sus composiciones. Notas y acordes que están ahí presentes pero siempre con un espacio entre ellos para respirar han sido una de sus marcas constantes. Los pianos solitarios y sencillos que dominan melancólicamente el panorama de ese liviano y llevadero disco Un autre décembre (fatcat, 2003), por sobre la tímida maquinaria electrónica que a veces lo irrumpe -cosa que no ocurre en el elogiado The black book of Capitalism (Noise Museum, 2000, relanzado en 2008 por Type Records), enfocado en composiciones mas complejas [...]

Het laatste album van Sylvain Chauveau waarop hij ook zong was een Depeche Mode cover album getiteld Down To The Bone . De stem van Sylvain heeft ook wel wat weg van die van David Grahan. Ook de vergelijkingen met David Sylvian snijden hout. Nu is er weer een nieuw solo album waarop de stem van Sylvain te horen is. Doel van de Fransman was om de standaard liedjesstructuur te ontleden en in nieuwe richtingen te leiden. Wat je hoort op Singular Forms (sometimes repeated) zijn dan ook in de kern prachtige liedjes [...]

Sylvain Chauveau - Cinématographe 1
I This Immortal Coil sono quello che dovrebbe essere definito un super gruppo, almeno visti i nomi dei protagonisti: Yaël Naim, Bonnie Prince Billy, Yann Tiersen, Matt Elliott, DAAU, Chapelier Fou, Sylvain Chauveau, Christine Ott, Oktopus, Nightwood, David Donatien e Nicolas Jorio. Ici d'Ailleurs fa uscire "The Dark Age Of Love", undici brani in cui [...]
Vidéo créée par peturbird . La chanson s'appelle "Nuage", extrait de l'album du même nom. Vidéo créée par Vincent Moon (un des collaborateurs légendaires des Concerts à Emporter ). La chanson s'appelle "Never Let Me Down Again", une reprise de Depeche Mode (l'originale se trouve sur Music For the Masses ). Sylvain Chauveau est un compositeur, pianiste, guitariste, chanteur et bidouilleur électro. Sa musique est une des plus reposante que je connaisse. De subtiles mélodies posées sur des arrangements de cordes, [...]

We mogen Bartolomeo Cristofori dankbaar zijn. Ik moet er namelijk niet aan denken dat alle piano's nog gewoon naar een klavecimbel (hoewel ook een zeldzaam mooi instrument) zouden klinken. De techniek met de hamertjes die tegen een snaar slaan was in de zeventiende eeuw redelijk baanbrekend, en door de beste componisten geëerd in hun werk. [...]

Sylvain Chauveau - Pauvre Simon
As we waited in the pews for this show to begin there was considerable debate amongst us about Sylvain Chauveau. Not about whether he was any good or not, or even what our favourite album was. Instead, we found ourselves confused as to whether "Chauveau" meant "horses" or "hair" in French. Thankfully, [...]
