Franck Vigroux * 1975 in Marvejols, lives in Le Monastier (FR)

“In my work I address the issue of dystopias and societies of control. I have worked a great deal on Zamyatin’s novel We (1920), which Huxley and Orwell happily plagiarized. The result was a record album, Camera Police (2010), and a radio play for France Culture, D503. Gregory Robin and I have worked together many times and have other projects under way.” F. Vigroux

“Franck Vigroux is one of the few artists who are both a musician and a director. As a composer-performer he has the rare capacity to produce a very wide range of sounds from electroacoustic to industrial noise, modern composition and experimental electronic music. He has performed and recorded with internationally renowed musicians such as Mika Vainio (Pan Sonic), Reinhold Friedl, Elliott Sharp, Joey Baron, Zeena Parkins, Ars nova ensemble instrumental. The uniqueness also comes from Vigroux’s artistic approach that integrates new media and performing arts.”
