 
Paraffine

 Acoustic instruments backed by electronic beats unite with powerful vocals 
 and what evolves is magic when an upright-bass player (Arnaud Francelet) 
 and soulful vocalist (Trix Maeder) collide. The sound of paraffine is 
 a refined yet energetic mixture of different moods, underlined by catchy 
 melodies, which linger and haunt your mind.

Arnaud and Trix met in 2002, when she recorded some songs at Arnaud’s
 recording studio in Switzerland. Ever since that fateful day, they have been
 playing and singing in the same band, as well as, composing and writing 
 songs together. By 2008, after the name and formation of their band had
 changed several times, Arnaud and Trix finally decided to continue and
 realize their musical vision as a duo, following archetypes reminiscent of
Everything but the Girl and The Eurhythmics.

The outcome of this new concept has enriched the quality and inspiration
 of their songs in a number of ways. First, by the cultural exposure and
 inspiration followed by positive local feedback during their production 
 and recording in pulsing cities like New York City and Bangkok. And finally, 
paraffine’s songs also benefits from the collaboration with international
 musicians all over Europe and the World in sundry tasks from guest studio
 musicians, live performance with international players on stage to flesh out
 the instrumental part of the compositions, and in production as well.

For post-production, the duo has been getting international producers and 
 sound ingeneers on board. Among them are Guillaume Macherel, 
 Geoffrey Gurd and Dave Drape. They are of invaluable support during 
 the final arrangements and the mixing of the songs.

The first official album authentic was released in March 2011 by the label
damp-music. The second album is already in the middle of production. 
 The new songs will be even more energetic and electronic, so that they
 will certainly animate the audience of any dance club.
