ALEXANDRE
BAZIN
A motif repeated until it disappeared from the landscape. Yet it remains there, floating at the envy, playing with the air, circling around heaps of atmosphere, surronding noises and organizing sounds. Sensation is electronic, and it gently drains fluid electricity from it. In reverse, she swims between two opposing tensions, two slightly diurnal temperaments, themselves hesitating between dog and wolf, between Germany and France, perhaps California.
Electronic musician Alexandre Bazin shapes his music with an experimental approach, his offbeat music encompassing multiple references and styles, from experimental and rock to techno.
His music is released by Important Records (USA), Umor Rex Records (Mexico), Polytechnic Youth (UK).
He has performed at Moogfest Festival in the USA in 2018. One of his live performances was recently broadcast on France TV CultureBox in 2021. He plays live at the Gaîté Lyrique in 2022, Trabendo & Point Éphémère in 2023.
Alexandre Bazin writes 60-minute documentaries for Radio France and GRM, and organizes interviews with some of the greatest experimental music artists of the XX & XXI century (Parmegiani, Mika Vainio, Fennesz, Peter Rehberg, Alva Noto, Jim O’Rourke, Suzanne Ciani, Morton Subotnick). His documentary on minimalist music was programmed during the Minimal evening at the Center Pompidou in 2018.

The Wire Magazine “Swell tape by this current member of Paris’s GRM organisation. The sounds range from classic Pierre Schaeffer-like collisions of whacked-out sound waves to saturnine insect buzzing and even stretches that are qite proggy. Excellent ! “ (source)France TV “Alexandre Bazin is an UFO” (source)

Beware "Alexandre Bazin is determined to explore new technical and artistic means to create a style of his own." (source)
The Slow Music Movement “A wonderfully atmospheric exercise in ambient minimalism from Alexandre Bazin for Important Records as he lights the route, smoothes the path & leaves a tempting tonal trail to the warm & welcoming end of the rocky world of experimental electronics.” (source)
