Finistérien, Yannick découvre la guitare à l'âge de 3 ans. Il fait son apprentissage musical dans les domaines du classique, du rock, du jazz et de l'improvisation. Il se produit dans différents groupes de rock & jazz/funk en Bretagne jusqu'à son arrivée en Aquitaine en 2004.
Installé à Bordeaux, il participe à des ateliers animés par le Centre d'Improvisation Libre avec Mathias Pontévia, Claude Saubole et Didier Lasserre. Puis, il suit deux stages animés par Barre Phillips en 2004 et 2005. Ces ateliers, ces stages ainsi que les rencontres faites au cours de cette période nourrissent sa pratique de la guitare électrique. En se basant sur le potentiel sonore très riche de cet instrument, il développe un vocabulaire construit autour de multiples inspirations.
Nantais depuis 2010, il crée l'association « Musiques sur le fil », joue en duo avec Mathias Pontévia, Stéphane Galéra, Jean Rougier, Nusch Werchowska, Toma Gouband et poursuit en parallèle son travail en solo.

Born in Finistère, a region located in the far west of northern France, Yannick discovered the guitar at the early age of 4. He learned to play classical music as well as rock and roll, jazz and improvisation. During his whole adolescence he performed in several groups of rock and jazz/funk in Bretagne. Then, in 2004, he moved to Bordeaux, where he participated in improvised music workshops, animated by the association Centre d'Improvisation Libre with Mathias Pontévia, Claude Saubole et Didier Lasserre. He also learned a lot during two workshops led by Barre Phillips in 2004 and 2005. Those workshops as well as all the musicians he met during this period built the way he plays the electric guitar. Using the very large potential of this instrument he developped a personal vocabulary based on his multiple inspirations. Since 2010, he lives in Nantes, where he created the association Musiques sur le fil. He plays regularly with Mathias Pontévia, Stéphane Galéra, Jean Rougier, Nusch Werchowska, Toma Gouband and always keeps on playing solo.

In the audiovisual performances of Radiolux performing in the formation of Inka Perl, Marek Brandt and Fabian Niermann, the meeting, actions of things, as well as the sound and music in the field of improvisation come together in a strange and surprising way.



Tobias Meier is a musician and artist based in Zurich, Switzerland. He regularly performs internationally, for instance with Silvan Jeger as "Cold Voodoo", with singer Dalia Donadio or as Through States of Matter in changing settings. Tobias Meier has written and performed various works for solo saxophone, as well as composed music for contemporary music ensembles and performed various scenic sound-performances. As a composer and improviser, he is interested in architectural gestures: the scenarios and methods of design, the setting of tonal coordinates, along which, the music gradually develops. For him, this process entails an irreducible experience that is to be re-engaged with again and again. For him, generating a musical space of sounds, time and pitches represents an event, rather than anything autocratic or finished: he explains that only the listener completes the music and assembles it to form a whole. For precisely this reason, he considers the shaping of music on an organisational, receptive and discursive level to be just as important as the actual playing of music. As organiser of the concert series Seismogram and the Wiediker Jazzfest, as co-founder of the self-run label Wide Ear Records, as editor of a zine for musicians (first released in 2015) and by designing and making his own CD and LP covers, he quite tangibly shapes the appearance and framework conditions of music. What lies behind all this engagement is not only the immense love and passion that he obviously feels towards music, for which he keeps taking new risks, but also the ongoing implementation and further development of his ideas.
