Next Thursday, February 27 at 8 pm, the Instituto Francés presents, within its Résonance Cycle, the concert by pianist Sylvain Chauveau entitled Life without machines. Must reserve this link.
Silence, emotion and simplicity find their best expression in the music of Sylvain Chauveau. French composer and pianist, Chauveau is known for his minimalist and experimental approach, fusing contemporary classical music with the soundscape and power of silence.
Throughout his career, he has cultivated a constant quest for simplicity, in which emotion becomes an essential element, creating a unique atmosphere that invites introspection and deep reflection.
Born in 1971 in Bayonne (France), Sylvain Chauveau’s work ranges from piano compositions to experimental pieces that combine electronics, chamber music and silence, a distinctive feature of his style. Chauveau explores the boundaries of sound and silence, using these elements as tools to provoke deep emotions and reflections.
In addition to his solo career, Sylvain Chauveau has worked on collective projects and collaborated with several contemporary artists and composers. He has been part of groups such as Ensemble 0, Arca and On, which has extended the reach of his music to different genres and disciplines. He has also dabbled in composition for film and theatre, creating soundtracks that complement visual narratives with his characteristic minimalist approach.
Life Without Machines (2020) is an introspective album by Sylvain Chauveau that imagines a world without technology. With a minimalist and environmental approach, the album seeks a purer connection with nature and human emotions, proposing a return to the essential and simple in contrast to a world saturated by technology.
