Biography Big Bang Discography Photos Partners Info/Contact

AstroVoyager is an architect of sound and vision

Born in 1974 in Metz, he indulged his passion for music from a young age. From the piano keyboard to

those of computers and synthesisers, he fed on the electro explosion of the 1980s with a sole ambition: to take "audispectators" on a journey without them ever having to get out of their armchair. An Electro-Symphonic mark…

Musically speaking, AstroVoyager’s synthesizers and electronic keyboards gradually mingled with the sounds of a real orchestra through the complicity of the musicians of Travelling Quartet (Anne Gravoin), the Tetraktys Ensemble (Dominique Miton), the Electro-Diva Sophie Elert and the Prague Concert Philharmonic Orchestra (Boris Jedlicka). A mixture of Electro-Symphonic surrealism perched on pop melodies and modern grooves… That’s the perfect cocktail to create his own musical mark, combining richness with simplicity. AstroVoyager cites electronic pioneer Jean-Michel Jarre, as well as Hans Zimmer or Eric Serra and later the Dutch producer Armin Van Buuren, as a major influence in composition, mixing and producing.

In 2006, AstroVoyager was signed by the French label Dreaming-Musea who took over the international distribution of his future productions. He can now look in the rearview mirror of his spaceship on the success of his « Temporal Gravitation » (2006), « Symphotronic Lunation » (2010), and « ElectrOpera » (2012) albums.

A record label created in 2011…

In 2011, plans emerged to set-up a record label: CosmXploreR. This is an independent associative non-profit record label. Their goals are to promote the progressive electronic music and to develop collaborations between electronic and classical musicians. So AstroVoyager built the foundation of one of the only record labels dedicated to Electro-Symphonic Music worldwide. In just five years CXR releases seven productions and signed major artists of this scene. AstroVoyager explores the boundaries of Electro-Symphonic Music through his creations for 10 years now. Some of his most famous tracks, such as « Telescope », « Total Immersion », « Full Moon rendezvous », « Apollo 11 », « Pulsation V » are crafted to withstanding the test of time. Shows for travelling together…

Meanwhile, each of the major AstroVoyager albums was declined in a concept-show. To witness a show of AstroVoyager is to be blown away - to completely lose yourself into the music and visuals and be one with the people around you: It's just that travelling without having to get out of his armchair. This is what makes AstroVoyager shows indescribable and unique experience. Highlights of his career so far was AstroVoyager’s performance with the Tetraktys Ensemble for the « ElectrOpera » project and its outdoor pyromusical declination since September 2014. The adventure is just beginning, AstroVoyager has decided to continue to offer new worlds to explore together...

« Big Bang » The new Electro-Symphonic creation of AstroVoyager

AstroVoyager unveils its new creation called « Big Bang » which will be released in 2016. This new album, a 14-piece

musical mosaic, features collaborations with surprise guests (drummer, singers,…) , and for the first time, the Prague Concert Philharmonic Orchestra.

AstroVoyager introduced his « audi-spectators » to many exciting musical fusions, intricate soundscapes, and surprising new Trance-Electro-Symphonic shades.

For this new creation, AstroVoyager remains faithful to what has been its strength: a subtle blend of acoustic, electric and electronic, carried by perfectly orchestrated electro-symphonic melodies, served by a really big sound.

« Big Bang » is the biggest project AstroVoyager has ever worked on, uniting 3 years of studio work and almost 30 musicians. « Big Bang » The show whose audience is the Star

In October 2015 AstroVoyager will kick off a new show based on his « Big Bang » album, in collaboration with the Prague Concert Philharmonic. With the brand new « Big Bang » tour previewed in Dole (F-39) in October 2015, AstroVoyager brought a unique and exclusive show format, which unfolded like the many layers of his « Big Bang » album.

Moreover, « Big Bang » is not only a show for, but also by the « audi-spectators » browsing 13.8 billion years still without leaving his armchair, and finally in turn become a star of the Big Bang in the heart of his city with a dedicated mobile app (iOs / Android / WindowsPhone). With the exceptional participation of the Prague Concert Philharmonic

Composed of the elite of Czech professional musicians, his experience in symphonic music, opera, film music, musical

performances (rock, jazz, variety Flornet Pagny, Véronique Sanson) and musicals, gives it a rare versatility but also a unique

personality. It plays regularly on all European scenes. He is a regular guest of European cities and festivals including Berlin, Paris, Aix-en-Provence, Geneva, Zurich. Its extensive discography, acclaimed in many countries, reflect its important influence all around the world. An interactive show for all

An interactive multimedia show for all, convergence of current electronic and symphonic sounds, wrapped into videos choreography (crafted by Inzieye), live dance (Danse en Corps Compagny) and pyrotechnics (crafted by ArtiShow) performances. AstroVoyager promises, as usual, an energetic, dreamlike and communicating show. Join the Big Bang experience live…
