Praxed (b. 1979) is a French musician and visual artist based in Paris, blending classical guitar with modular synthesis to create unique soundscapes since 1993.
Rooted in experimental music, Praxed's work resonates with ambient and free jazz influences. His compositions interweave spacious guitar melodies, noise washes, metallic glitches, and infinite echoes with tape loops and transformative vocal notes, often inspired by Philip K. Dick's philosophical explorations.
Praxed's approach centers on live performance and improvisation, infusing his music with deep emotional content. Each performance is an immersive journey into his perception of reality, inviting listeners to explore intricate layers of sound and emotion.
His latest project, "The Classical Guitar and the Modular Synth Diary," features daily improvised recordings of experimental electroacoustic pieces, showcasing the fusion of traditional classical guitar melodies with avant-garde modular synthesis.
A standout in Paris's experimental music scene, Praxed is known not just for technical prowess, but for evoking profound emotional responses, pushing the boundaries of musical expression with each creation.
"Here, emotions are chords or discord. Intimacy, the soul of your spirit and your moods, the melody of this classical guitar as the only familiar landmark... the rest is nothing but silk, tumult, silence, and the noises of the world in which we find ourselves..." - Listener's testimonial
