Biography

Sébastien Guerive is a composer and sound engineer based in Nantes, France. After studying the cello, he quickly turned to musical creation using computer music, which opened up infinite possibilities for mixing and transforming sound material. Close to the work of a plastic artist, he is as much concerned with the textural aspect of the sound as he is with the melody. Since 2001 and his first album La Pense Érrante composed from collages of samples and "field recording", he continues to develop his personal work (Io'n, Da Sweep ...) and to collaborate on projects for the theater, dance, music composition for image. His first album as a self-titled artist, Omega Point, was released in 2020 to great acclaim from the public and the international press. Sébastien Guérive's new album "Obscure Clarity" blends electronic acoustics, sonic textures and more intimate piano felt moments in the spirit of neoclassical writing. Chorales and onomatopoeic voices run through the album, creating a universal dialogue with the listener. There are musical climbs in the spirit of progressive rock, given by the power and thickness of the electronic sounds and the breadth of the orchestration of the acoustic instruments. With Obscure Clarity, Sébastien Guérive continues to compose the soundtrack for a film about the essential role of light in development of life .
