After eight years of piano training at the Conservatoire National de Nice, KrYstian's passion for music has not waned. An avid listener of "C'est Lenoir," Bernard Lenoir's daily show on France Inter that punctuated his teenage evenings, he has continued to frequent concert halls in search of avant-garde music and, perhaps, himself. A discreet composer of French songs in which Michel Legrand seems to be on familiar terms with Alex Beaupain on a night of disillusioned solitude, KrYstian contributed a few arpeggiated chords to the music of Le bain and lent his voice to the choral accompaniments of Ce que tu vois in the diabolical "666." AUSTERLITZ and La petite soldate seal a fuller contribution to Gaëlle Bourges' projects: electronic orchestrations around the melodic phrasing of her piano accompany the shows. Her electronic orchestrations, tinged with post-industrial granularity and off-kilter liturgical echoes, support the melodic phrasing of a now spectral piano, floating between buried memory and sound ritual.
Very quickly, this sensitive vein comes up against a more raw necessity: to descend into the strata of sound, where analog layers rub up against the distortions of reality. Dark ambient,deep hardcore, KrYstian develops a cinematic musical language, made up of underground tensions, heavy silences, and abrupt surges, like mental landscapes crossed by the cold light of a 16 mm projector.
