Cédric Monnier is a Swiss piano player with French roots. He recorded his piano compositions in a remote estate in Brittany near the untamed Atlantic coast. In the process, fragile, sensual piano pieces were created, meandering between somnambulistic, cinematic scenery and gentle, natural pureness. Inspired by Frédéric Chopin and Erik Satie, his neoclassical solo piano compositions are reminiscent of many contemporary artists such as Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen, Philip Glass, Hania Rani, Olivia Belli, Sofiane Pamart, Max Richter and Ólafur Arnalds. Cédric Monnier was a member of the successful pop band Lunik, whose albums reached gold and platinum status in Switzerland. Since their breakup, he continues to co-write, co-produce and tour regularly with their former singer Jaël. At the same time, he co-produced the debut album "Too Much" by the eccentric band Bonaparte and toured with them throughout Europe for several years. Since 2017 he has been playing regular tours with the electronic band Schiller in Germany, Eastern Europe, Russia and Iran. In 2023 Schiller and Cédric Monnier wrote and performed the song Arc Céleste together which is to be found on Schiller’s latest album «Illuminate» (No 1 album charts Germany). In 2024 Cédric Monnier & Acid Pauli released a live EP at Pierre Boulez Saal Berlin. This contrasting and mutually stimulating collaboration creates an exciting interweaving of acoustic and electronic soundscapes.
