Aug 18 Simon Moullier | Wind Chaser | Single

Simon Moullier’s original compositions evoke the spirits of earth and sun, wind, moon, water and not least of all the human spirit itself. The songs bring together a soaring, sometimes hymn-like melodic gift with a
strong rhythmic dance that stems naturally from his percussion background. Synthesizer textures and
a chromatic balafon from Burkina Faso enliven the sonic atmosphere all the more. The synthesizer on “Wind Chaser” conjure a sound world that Moullier links unhesitatingly to his love of sci-fi.

“There’s a rare crystalline quality to Moullier’s sound on the vibraphone, which is inherently a percussion/piano hybrid, but in Moullier’s hands takes on the quality of a voice.”
