Stephan Eicher

Stephan Eicher comes to present the songs from Poussière d’Or at the Arcadium in Annecy on November 3, 2026—songs born on a piano stool with a guitar resting on his knees. These pieces took shape through shared sessions with musician friends and are built on lyrics by Philippe Djian and Martin Suter. Written like quiet stories that resist the din, they retain that original simplicity, a care for the right word and a melody that settles effortlessly.

On stage, Eicher highlights these new compositions and links them to his pop-folk repertoire. He cultivates intimacy, alternating keyboards and strings, allowing the arrangements and the breathing of the texts to circulate. His musicians extend the record’s momentum, painting hues that are sometimes acoustic, sometimes more electric. You’ll find his way of switching between languages and mixing the personal with the travelogue, with recent songs that converse with older titles. An evening conceived to share with the audience that still-warm bread he evokes, placed at the center of the table.
