Biography : Liking pushing aside the notion of composer or musician, the French artist Zreen Toyz (born in 1954) often presents himself as Sounds Sculptor.
After few years in classic training on piano and percussions, he does not appreciate the stifling conformity of the academy and turns to the improvised musics. The continuation of its training is essentially self-taught.
He crosses composers as Luc Ferrari and Ilhan Mimaroglu, but his meetings with Herman Poole Blount, more known under the name of Sun Ra, and the improvised electronic musics, in particular that of Tangerine Dream (period 1970-1975) and that of Conrad Schnitzler (he meets him in Berlin in 1973), are really determining for his sound experiments.
Since his first pieces created in 1970, he works the sound material following inspiration of the moment, a raw and instinctive approach by stratification where any imperfection or sound incident become a harshness on which to hang on atmospheres or reflections. In this way, he creates impalpable and timeless landscapes where vibrations, noises, and collages erase the structure of the piece.
Aimant bousculer la notion de compositeur ou de musicien, l'artiste français Zreen Toyz (né en 1954) se présente souvent comme sculpteur de sons.
Après quelques années de formation en piano et percussions, il n'apprécie pas le conformisme étouffant du conservatoire et se tourne alors vers les musiques improvisées. La suite de sa formation est essentiellement autodidacte.
Il croise des compositeurs comme Luc Ferrari et Ilhan Mimaroglu, mais ses rencontres avec Herman Poole Blount, plus connu sous le nom de Sun Ra, et les musiques électroniques improvisées, notamment celle de Tangerine Dream (periode 1970-1975) et celle de Conrad Schnitzler (qu'il rencontre à Berlin en 1973), sont véritablement déterminantes pour ses expérimentations sonores.
Depuis ses premières pièces créées en 1970, il travaille la matière sonore suivant l'inspiration du moment, une approche brute et instinctive par stratification où toute imperfection ou incident devient une aspérité sur laquelle accrocher des atmospheres ou des reflets. Il crée ainsi des paysages impalpables et intemporels où les vibrations, les bruits et les collages effacent la stucture même du morceau.
