Francis RIMBERT Has been playing music since he was 5 years old. He started in classical music, at the piano. At the conservatory, he studied harmony, counterpoint, theory and orchestration. & won first prize in piano. He moved onto Paris where he become a salesman in a shop that was importing synthesizers in an age in which almost no-one was selling them. It was then that Francis become interested in electronic instruments. Sponsored by Korg, Francis took the stage (Theatre de Champs Elysee) solo, surrounded by his synthesizers (Bionic Orchestra 1979). He became the go-to man for Roland and Ensoniq. A talented musician, Francis wasted little time getting to know another master of the synthesizer, Jean Michel Jarre, through their mutual friend, Michel Geiss. Meeting in 1979 for the concert in Place de la Concorde, they began a long collaboration. Since 1986 (Houston), Francis has been at Jarre’s side on stage. Aside from his work on various albums for Jarre, Francis has created several works of sonic illustration. Synthesizers are the extensions of the fingers of a sensitive musician who uses electronic instruments to articulate his melodic talent, a talent which helped him win first prize at the international festival of electronic music in Tokyo in 1988 (chaired by Isao Tomita). |
