Fukushima Daiichi

Description

MARBOSS is a major contributor to the French electro scene. He uses cutting-edge music technology in the creation of innovative compositions, via sound-design, DJing and VJing techniques, demonstrating that he is a veritable sound scientist. In this second album named ""Electrotherapies"" (Dreaming, 2008), the artist that created the official hymn for the arrival of the TGV (The world's fastest train! ) in the Lorraine region of France, presents his new electronic concept. One can notice here the use of synthetic layers, simple and catchy melodies, rhythms enriched by electro-acoustic sounds, and minimalistic vocals sung or rendered by a vocoder. MARBOSS invites you to discover his various states of mind: dream, distress, journeying, religious, sadness, sexual... This album is a quirky mix of influences that should please the fans of KRAFTWERK, Jean-Michel JARRE, DEPECHE MODE or MOBY. The third MARBOSS album ""Fukushima-Daiichi"" (Dreaming, 2011), recorded live during a benefit concert for Japan given at the Arsenal in Metz (France), is a musical summary of the nuclear disaster that occurred in Japan, March 11th 2011. One is certainly lost for words to describe such events, whereas MARBOSS prefers to give a sonic narrative of the reactors deterioration, through electronic sound sculpturing, immersing the listener into an ""electro-radioactive"" mood. It's hard not to relate to the victims, after this listening experience, which is a reminder to us all to face up our responsibilities, before this slow contamination, goes way beyond control... This sonic page of human history has established ""documentary music"" as a brand new musical genre, which would be of interest to an emotive and curious audience.
