Extended Biography:
Odyssée is a French artist who explores the interaction between technology and nature by bringing his self-powered modular synthesizer into wild and often hostile landscapes. A drummer by training, he has developed a strong passion for sound design, which he has refined in his solo project.
After experimenting in the Alpine mountains, he expanded his field of exploration in 2023, taking his synthesizer to the deserts of the southwestern United States, including Joshua Tree, Mojave, and Nevada. Alone against the elements, he composed and recorded outdoors, transforming these arid landscapes into a true creative laboratory. This experience led to the creation of Arid Fields, an album that blends post-trance and ambient music, capturing ethereal soundscapes imbued with deep solitude. Arid Fields was released in November 2023.
In 2024, Odyssée began performing live, notably with an inaugural outdoor concert above Lake Annecy, utilizing a wireless headphone system that allowed the audience to enjoy the music while taking in the scenery. This innovative format became a hallmark during his European tour, conducted in collaboration with the brand Salomon. During these unique events, select clients of the brand were invited on hikes through natural settings, culminating in immersive live performances.
That same year, Odyssée performed at prestigious venues such as the Extra events of Nuits Sonores and continued his exploratory journey by recording a live session in a cave 90 meters underground. The artist also released a new EP Water Drops in the summer of 2024, adopting a more dance-oriented approach, clearly geared towards live performances, with an increased emphasis on percussive rhythms.
Recently, Odyssée has introduced a performative dimension to his creations by incorporating electronic drum pads to enrich his live sets. He also develops immersive installations, synchronizing his musical compositions with LED light displays, thereby enhancing the contrast between modernity and nature.
Always seeking new horizons, Odyssée is now exploring more human themes, integrating voices and personal emotions into his creations, while maintaining the contemplative and introspective essence that defines his artistic universe.
In 2025, Odyssée is working on his next album and designing a future live show with an innovative lighting design, fully synchronized with the music. This portable setup promises to reflect the very essence of his universe, merging modernity and contemplation to offer a unique sensory experience.
