Olivier Briand spent a musical and diverse youth with the influence of his father, surrounded by world music and a heterogeneous abundance of sound, mixing the nascent Berlin School with avant-garde experiments, around the family ondiolin made by his grandfather in January 1956. After a few years of classical piano training with Mrs. Simone Bally, he decides to devote himself to a musical self-education, developing a unique form of improvisation, based on listening and re-integrating musical notions. . Multi-instrumentalist and collector of musical instruments, his influences are rooted in Indian music as well as in that of Mozart, Miles Davis or the Aka Pygmies, as well as in the music of Klaus Schulze or Tangerine Dream. He therefore builds a protean style that is sometimes similar to that of world-music, classical music, contemporary experiments or subtle French melodies. Composer for cinema, television, choreography, theater, video creation or advertising music, he performed in 1987 on event shows with lasers, light-shows and pyrotechnics with the company Oposito. He became the sound engineer for the company Anamorphose in 1990 (specializing in piano recording). Then he collaborated with Philippe Brodu on the “Studio keyboards” adventure where he became a sales consultant and then a mastering engineer. He gives numerous concerts both with instruments from around the world (a collection of around 1000 pieces of which he plays around forty instruments) and with synthesizers of which he has become a recognized specialist (Moog sound bank for Keyboards, Kawai demonstrator, Arturia, M-Audio, Korg). The majority of its musical production is for sale exclusively on the site asso-pwm.fr/shop.
