Dawn Wave
Our Music
We create digital music, fully synthesizers-based, progressive, ambiant music, electronica, DPM, or more experimental, inspired by German, UK electronic music and US contemporary music.
Synthetic soundscapes and musical material such as loops, noises, or rhythmic sequences draw on a small part of the multiples available synthesis techniques. This fully digital synthetic works use Vintage analog and digital synths emulations, hybrid instruments and voices.
Our instruments are computers, keyboards, synthesisers and hybrid instruments which, for some hybrid compositions, are coupled with composition with lines of contemporary and jazz piano.
All our works are fully synthetic works using Vintage analog and digital synths emulations and hybrid Augmented instruments such as voices, chords or pianos.
Digital Progressive Music
(DPM)
A few words about our music projects and records.
Digital is part of the music equation.
Digital is not considered as a simple means of production or environment, but as the core of the musical essence of our compositions and works. The digital dimension characterises the instruments we use and which influence the composition method, not to mention the music production and diffusion.
Vintage and modern synths, hybrid instruments.
We enjoy simultaneous use of modern synths from our 2020s era, of hybrid instruments such as chords and voices, and Vintage synths. The latest date from the mythical synths eras, in the 70s and 80s, although some synthesizers moved to modernised emulation versions.
Our instrumentation draws on all synthetic instruments. From our experience, Vintage synths often bring some more soul to the perceived music, maybe because our ears have got familiar with their sounds, so popular since the 70s and 80s.
Humanising digital music is a major perspective.
As for now, our current projects remain purely instrumentals; they do not include human voices, although they are among the richest musical component. Our compositions include synthetic and hybrid voices.
​
The musical journey is the most important.
Through our musical works, we genuinely try to tell stories, to communicate feelings, to carry emotions varying and evolving with time, to bring surprising sounds, we aim at providing the auditor with new learnings, also throughout diverse musical ideas in the same piece.
Each composition or track aims at conveying the auditor to a true journey, a musical trip, a discovery through diverse, new musical landscapes, through a mind travel, of various length and deep. It should bring the auditor an artistic discovery, initiates dreams, new ideas.

Crying Kyiv
CD single
Crying Kyiv" is an hybrid composition for piano, strings trio and synthesizers dedicated to the victims of Ukraine. In parallel, the B-Side Twenty - Ode to A. is dedicated to a single, beloved young person. Both tunes are hybrid compositions, mixing pianos, hybrid instruments and synthesisers.
Twenty - Ode to A. is another ode or a tribute dedicated to, not to a whole Nation as in Crying Kyiv, but to a single loved person. The composition is the second of a Piano Hybrid Project. Piano, either acoustic or hybrid, generating a cloud of particles and noises is overwhelming and dominant over synthesisers soundscapes, boosted by short and strong warm synth solos, encapsulating an extraordinarily vital life.
Ambiant Trials
CD
Ambiant Trials” CD is a first experience, an exploration in digital music, fully synthesizers-based, progressive, ambiant music or more experimental, with sounds inspired our musical roots and influence..
Inspiring powerful synthetic sounds let to the different themes, often intricate, based on tensions between past and future, between vintage and more modern digital synth, between electronic and digital age, and in a first evocation, the cohabitation tensions between man and digital. The album mainly reflects on tensions in and between time, in an era of crisis and transformation. Compositions include an environment-related track and an AI-human collaborative composition.. A first AI -(partially) generated synth track will be included in the album.
​​
The Ambiant Trials are for part inspired by famous progressive and electronic music references, some from German electronic music, to a lower extent by UK and US electronic contemporary music. The Ambiant Trials are a primary free exploration in the open field of digital, progressive and ambiant music, using fully digital-based music.
Synthetic soundscapes draw on a small part of the multiples available synthesis techniques. This current digital synthetic works uses Vintage analog and digital synths emulations, hybrid instruments and voices.
Sounds are mostly inspired by German influences. Synthetic soundscapes draw on a small part of the multiples available synthesis techniques. (traditional Subtractive, Additive, FM, Samples, Wavetable & waveforms). Many other synthesis techniques may be explored (such as Vector, Granular, Particles, Resonance, Kernels in groups, use of VCF and Digital DCF filters, modulations and effects), and the project may be extended in further albums.
In this perspective, this first CD is encompassed into a larger musical composition project (Synth Music Project Wave 1).
Our next concert:
a Virtual Concert in Metaverse
Dawn Wave Band will perform in a virtual convert in metaverse (VCM)
Dawn Wave VCM COMING SOON
Synth Music Project Wave 3
Next CD
Dawn Wave Band working on a next album, very innovative, which should be a landmark in Dawn Wave production. Be patient !
