MARIUS ATHERTON has always loved music.
Indeed, music is a very beautiful thing, it breezes through the phases of life, it is like a comforting presence (like a dog).
Marius Atherton went through many phases during his single life, and he also just adopted a dog named Lucien.
He has been playing with various bands of more or less quality music all across the Schengen area (+ Switzerland), now he is attracted to fragile music..... Influenced by Anne Sylvestre, he writes songs with themes of melancholy, blind trust or that moment of shivers where you don't really know if you are being watched when you’re not looking.
Alongside his "songwriting" activity, Marius diversified his field of action, as suggested to him by his unemployment advisor and friend Romuald Pommier. He was initiated by his aunt Sonia, who plays the cello very well, to the celestial joys of baroque music. Since then, he has devoted a noisy worship to composers such as Bach, Pergolèse and François Couperin. He devotes more and more time to the study of their works, which does not make Lucien very happy because he much prefers walking around and smelling the city streets.
Marius Atherton released a solo album in 2020 coproduced by following labels : Potagers Natures, Twintoe Records, Noway and Scolopendre

It’s difficult to pin down GELBART’s style: dwell too much on his jazz/electronica side, and he’ll shower you with industrial blip storms that will leave you dumbfounded. Gelbart does not pause for a cup of tea or a quick five-minute sit down. He is restless, energetic and animated, and his music will leave you scrambling for breath.
Adi Gelbart is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, composer, filmmaker and author. His lifelong obsession with creativity has so far resulted in more than 20 LPs and EPs of original music for electronics and chamber ensembles, numerous works of abstract and narrative animation, and most recently, a novel.
A dive into Gelbart’s body of work uncovers a bizarre yet wholly consistent own world, a surrealist mirror-universe of sound and imagery that aims to combine the accessible with the complex.
Gelbart has been living and working in Berlin for the past eighteen years. His music appeared on many record labels, the latest being Felix Kubin’s Gagarin Records.
