Mocke

Mocke is an essential guitarist on the French scene. Formerly a founding member of the group Holden , he now composes and writes with the duo Midget! , with musician Claire Vailler .

We have seen him gradually free himself from any framework to settle in a territory that belongs only to him. At the borders between experimentation, oblique songs, world sound, contemporary music, improvisations, Mocke composes instrumental pieces built around his guitar, as one writes poems in prose, with such grace that there is nothing surprising that his latest album " Parle Grand Canard " ( Object Disc , 2020), is unanimously acclaimed upon its release.

Whether he is alone in charge of his solo records (3 albums since 2014), whether he is composing musical creations for France Culture , film soundtracks or appearing on stage and on record with other musicians ( Delphine Dora , Mohamed Lamouri , Arlt , Chevalrex …), Mocke has a recognizable harmonic signature among a thousand. The mark of one of the most singular musicians of the time.
