***** ARTIST BIO *****

* French :

" NightBirds ", duo de musique électronique / expérimentale, originaire du sud de la France créé à la fin de l’année 1985.

L’idée de départ est née d’une simple phrase :  " créer la musique que l’on aurait aimé entendre ".
Le ton est ainsi lancé.

Le groupe ira dans la direction d’achats de multiples synthétiseurs analogiques, un monde sans mémoire et pour une création sonore infinie.
Leurs influences sont larges, mais pour seul point commun : le synthétiseur.

De 85 à 91 : ils enregistrent une multitude de démos sur K7 audio et bandes magnétiques afin de trouver un style propre à eux-mêmes. A cette occasion, ils finalisent leur première K7, un album (fin 89) : " GEODE ".
Le projet " Géode " est un des aboutissements de recherches et d’idées de leur musique, mais également une ouverture pour le style que les " NightBirds " vont se créer.
Le 26 juin 1993 : participation au festival " Electronic Waves " (Paris).
Suite à ce concert : de nombreux travaux sur bandes, continuité dans la recherche, l’expérimentation, mais aussi études sur les synthétiseurs et leur possibilité sur de nouvelles créations.
1994 : nouveaux travaux sur la bande de démo " Géode " et remasterisation.
Réalisation d’un mini album sur K7 : " Tree Birds ", jamais édité ou distribué.
En octobre 1995, ils donnèrent un concert de 2h30 au " Palais des Congrès du Cap d’Agde " : musiques improvisées et séquences sont au programme...

***** ARTIST BIO *****

* English :

" Nightbirds " is a french duo founded in 1985 by twin brothers who are interested in new electronic music.

At the very beginning, the original idea was to release an album late in 1985 with the few instruments they had. So Came their first self-produced album " Géode ".
After some years, " Nightbirds " presented their project live in 1993, at the " Electronic Waves " festival in Paris (France).
After this performance, the band studied electronic music instruments and mastering techniques.

The music of " Nightbirds " is like a picture of sounds full of ambiances, minimalism and electroacoustic events.
The band could be identified by the creation of long pieces like a gallery where artists could meet each other.

Their music in now known through self-produced releases and through some contributions like the " Dreamwatchers' Tales " series.
Now, " Nightbirds " go on their way creating electronic landscapes...

Hello, my name is Markus, I was born in 65 Geneva Switzerland but my origins are german, so some life time past. 
I learnt piano with different teacher, and  throught conservatoire, and between on my own using my ears.

Enjoyed a lot tweaking keyboards and synths throughout the eighties, were I used a long list of gear, bought and sold for a part.
 like listen to the music from that time and before, favourite seventies, and eighties.

 then also played here and there with different regular pop and rock bands.
 
Couldn't stop to love great Synthesizer, and I experimenting with several machines, 
even when most of them became a lot more virtual today, it was fantastic to get back to all these old clones of unaccessible hardware.

However this my music under the name of horizons that should be less common even if I try to keep a harmonic, like melodic edge along with some more experimental investigations. 
I recorded or composed on time, there is an album called "Dreams of the Maiden", you can check or listen to. 

Thanks for your visit

These are soundbits and glimpses from it, good to listen on the road if you like smooth, or  this also meant to relax. enjoy!

 I have also a blog talking about music and essential albums, with infos and links - but this will be in french. thanks

In another area I spend my time teaching music and the Piano, 
hereby you can also find my french blog related to Piano learning

Musiques à écouter est un blog sur les albums et les musiques qui m'ont marqué, vous aussi, venez et partagez!
Des infos, des videos, et des liens concernant chaque sujet. A bientôt.
