// Croix
Franck Vigroux (FR)
Croix is an audiovisual concert of the French creator Franck Vigroux known for his dark industrial and sound experiments. In this project we will hear fragments from the album of Franck Vigroux Rapport sur le désordre and Barricades. The generative visual layer created by Antoine Schmitt is focused on the image of the painter Kazimierz Malewicz's cross - a symbol of artistic awareness.
franck vigroux is one of the few artists who are both musician and director. As a composer-performer, he has the rare ability to produce a very wide range of sounds from electroacoustic to industrial, modern composition and experimental electronic music. He has performed and recorded with internationally renowned musicians such as Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic), Reinhold Friedl, Elliott Sharp, Joey Baron, Zeena Parkins, and Ars nova ensemble instrumental.
The uniqueness also results from the artistic approach of Vigroux, which integrates new media and performing arts. Since 2009, he has been designing transdisciplinary shows and cooperates with Compagnie D'autres Cordes, a stage agency.
He published in such labels as DAC Records (France), Leaf Label (United Kingdom) Cosmos Rhythmic (Germany), Monotype Rec (Poland).
// Orage Magnétique
L’Age d’Or (FR)
The latest audiovisual concert of the French duo L'Age d’Or, oscillating between very textural ambient, drones, field recordings and melodic electronics, and immersion video and light projection. The project is rooted in film art, enriched with three-dimensional elements and archival recordings. The center is a universe focused on the issue of symbiosis between the digital layer and the analog, figurative representation of the world with abstraction while maintaining the narrative.
L’Age d’Or (FR)

They experiment with various music genres, such as ambient, electro, downtempo, IDM, and post-rock. They performed at numerous events in France and festivals in Europe. They publish in such publishing houses as XVIIP // or Basilar Records.
