Julien Chaptal

Julien Chaptal is an electronic assembly - part French electronics, part Detroit synth machine, and part Dutch minimal robot (as part of MFD, Amsterdam 661 and Le Clic).

Purpose built with a modular brain, Julien's pertormances are switched on, live, utterly groovy, and while pulsating with machine wiring, undeniably human.

With his modular synth and microscope, Julien explores an audiovisual cosmos of micro- organisms and sound waves. The micro organisms under Julien's magnifying glass are not just any bacilli. With every movement they make, they influence the sound of the music. So they are actually unsuspecting musicians - and Julien their conductor. What emerges is a festive fusion, a real Microbe Rave!
