Sacha

New Caledonia’s unique electronic singer/songwriter/programmer Sacha and his two musician friends have a very clear vision of the sonic universe they want to create : a blend of warm electronics, luscious strings and enraged drums, driven by the artist’s powerful voice. The three young men are currently finishing writing and arranging the songs that will appear on Sacha’s follow-up to « Lines », his debut electro-folk album which was released in March 2011. The musicians are well-known for their original and energetic shows, going from uptempo breakbeat tracks to soft electronic ballads. With Johan alternating between the usual drumkit and an electronic percussion pad and Maxime blasting synth hooks and effects, the two musicians offer perfect backing for Sacha to unleash his catchy vocal lines. Their live performances are not only a musical but also a visual experience as they also share the stage with one or more dancers. In december 2011, they will fly to South Korea, Europe, the USA and Canada in order to prepare the recording of the second album, organize the subsequent summer tour and play a series of concerts in Vancouver in February. At the same time, they are putting up a new show combining live video projections and dancing with the artist’s music. It is to be premiered in May 2012 in New Caledonia. Sacha has also been asked to work on a dance project with the Victoria Ballet in Vancouver, mixing Chopin and Vivaldi’s music with live electronics.
