Franck Martin

French native, Franck Martin draws his inspiration from the works of <a href="spotify:artist:5MhLmv7GgyjbxGqiIGasvT" data-name="Jean-Michel Jarre">Jean-Michel Jarre</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4P70aqttdpJ9vuYFDmf7f6" data-name="Vangelis">Vangelis</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1BGN1IdyiSR0ZYrkoKNchl" data-name="Tangerine Dream">Tangerine Dream</a> and also from various artists like <a href="spotify:artist:399s62PfwKlLnrLvBjWFYB" data-name="Iannis Xenakis">Iannis Xenakis</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6SKt053SiZYHsB2Gx7YExM" data-name="Hughes Le Bars">Hughes Le Bars</a>.

His first album, released in 2016, is a timid exploration of the tools for Electronic Music Production. Some tracks are influenced by the years he spent in Fiji and in the Pacific Islands and were often composed during his travels.

His second album, released in 2017, is a continuation of this exploration. It is drawing more from the avant-garde electronic music and modular synthesizer community of San Francisco and Berkeley, where he now resides. This community in itself is influenced by the instruments of Don Buchla and Dave Smith, but also by composers like <a href="spotify:artist:60p2TqH9OKWfKB46wWaGIQ" data-name="Morton Subotnick">Morton Subotnick</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6E7hjfR2Qy6392SnUqCnzr" data-name="Suzanne Ciani">Suzanne Ciani</a>.

Franck Martin continues his exploration in the creation and production of electronic music, whilst meeting other fellow artists from San Francisco and the world (<a href="spotify:artist:49C11a9yJjCGhH1LfDUYdc" data-name="R Beny">R Beny</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1Gc6C6mp22uQYKzXAZ6bme" data-name="m.0">m.0</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:29PAwxBMC8PWdrXj0m7H2P" data-name="Chris Otchy">Chris Otchy</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:2Ab7W2m8IZ5c6HCBpJQYh2" data-name="Doug Lynner">Doug Lynner</a> <a href="spotify:artist:7iCjtcUY9RuUrf3Vyq8Zcp" data-name="Nathan Moody">Nathan Moody</a> ..)


While Spotify is convenient to listen to music, consider supporting indie artists by buying their music on Bandcamp.
