By taking the slick sound of EDM, combining it with Japanese Rock and infusing it with his Classical Music roots, Horalion creates a unique landscape of sounds and expresses his « French touch » sensibility.

Born Aurélien Hillion, the independent artist grew up in a small village in Normandy (France). With 12 years of music school as a violonist and a Masters Degree in Musicology, he decided to broaden his creative aspiration to new ground with electronic music.

In winning a competition in 2018 by remixing "IOUE" by Tommy Trash & Taisun, he explored that fragile balance between a classical violin introduction that builds up to a dense drop.

He doesn't see an opposition between his classical influences and his electro-dance aspirations. « There is a rich history of Baroque dance with a chamber orchestra (violin, alto, cello and harpsichord). I found it interesting to keep these classical instruments and put them into a contemporary context. »

His greatest musical influences came from three different musical genres : The classical music of his childhood (Bach, Vivaldi), the Japanese Rock of his youth (X Japan, Malice Mizer) and the Electronic Dance of his adulthood (Daft Punk, Justice).

To start the decade, he chose « Raison d'Être » as the song announcing the upcoming release of his first EP « Years of Youth ». A song started 10 years earlier, which closes a loop of artistic research. A blend of the past and the present to envision what the future could bring.

A furry electronic musician. Snuggly hellhoud. Music connoisseur.
