A sonic photosynthesis of ruins

1982 is the current solo musical project of the young French artist Charles Derenne, who became known through activities including the band Melody Syndrome and works on a constant basis with internationally known contemporary fine artists such as Cyprien Gaillard, Jeremy Shaw and Robert Montgomery.

Derenne took inspiration for his new album LUXURIANT NATURE ODYSSEY from the atmosphere of those abandoned sites and ruins that were created by human hands but have by now long since been reclaimed by nature. And a recent trip through Japan has resulted in new videos, which the artist will present publicly for the first time as part of his concert at the MAK.

Charles Derenne will be accompanied by Grégoire Fedorenko on the cello and Stéphanie Grandpierre on the violin.
