Krikor
1998 : first 12 inches on 20000ST, a dirty take on the original French Touch sound from 1996 which could be seen as a premonition of 2008 new French Touch. Collaborations with Ark, remixes.
2002 : Krikor teams up with Benjamin Morando against villains of all kind, they found France Copland, a weird ghetto techno project influenced by Detroit Booty as well as IRCAM’s musical research (institut of musical and acoustic research).
2003 : Krikor is more and more interested by sound experiments, he attends Octavio Lopez course (a famous contemporary music composer) at the conservatory and explores electro- acoustic techniques that he will later incorporate in his productions. Meanwhile, he becomes a resident DJ at Crispin Dior’s party at 333 in East London.
2006 : he creates his own label, Omerta Registrazione and releases 12inches by Pilooski, France Copland… he also collaborates with various labels such as Tigersushi, Kill The DJ, d-i-r-t-y..
2008/2009 : Krikor and DJ Chloe start a new duo called Plein Soleil. First release on the famous German label Playhouse.
Today, Krikor’s musical style has become more hybrid than ever, a personal synthesis of his musical obsessions : the fat groove and old drum machines of Chicago House, the abstract sounds of minimal techno, the urge and energy of Rock(abilly), the harshness of Industrial music, the dark romantism of Folk anti-heroes from the 60s and the forward thinking of GRM lab rats (Pierre Schaeffer, Pierre Henry..).
The result of this synthesis is a first album « Land of Truth » – at last, after 10 years of waiting. It’s an intimate and ambitious album, bitter and sweet. 11 cinematic songs
featuring the voices of Krikor himself and also Nicolas Ker (from Poni Hoax) on “Break It All” and “Dogs on Trial”, Chloé (the English punkette of Battant) on “The Times”.
