French Fuse

Under the name French Fuse, Jerry Manoukian develops a project that sits between electronic music, piano writing and music for image. Trained at the Conservatory and the Ballet National de Marseille, this French musician from the south of France first drew attention with videos made from images gathered online, which he transforms into original pieces and short, tightly edited arrangements. French Fuse combines melodic sensibility, harmonic work and electronic production in a direct format, often conceived for the screen, without being limited to mere appropriation. Over the course of his career, French Fuse has established a recognizable identity founded on the dialogue between web culture, piano and electronic textures, with particular attention to emotional impact and the clarity of his compositions. His trajectory fits within a scene where musical creation circulates as much through social platforms as through concert formats, with an accessible yet structured aesthetic that is at once visual, rhythmic and melodic.
