Bloom in stereo -biography

Acoustic instruments backed by electronic beats unite with powerful vocals and what evolves is magic when an upright-bass player (Arnaud Francelet) and soulful vocalist (Trix Maeder) collide. The sound of bloom in stereo is a refined yet energetic mixture of different moods, underlined by catchy melodies, which linger and haunt your mind.
Arnaud and Trix met in 2002, when she recorded some songs at Arnaud’s recording studio in Switzerland. Ever since that fateful day, they have been playing and singing in the same band, as well as, composing and writing songs together. By 2008, after the name and formation of their band had changed several times, Arnaud and Trix finally decided to continue and realize their musical vision as a duo, following archetypes reminiscent of Everything but the Girl and The Eurhythmics.
The outcome of this new concept has enriched the quality and inspiration of their songs in a number of ways. First, by the cultural exposure and inspiration followed by positive local feedback during their production and recording in New York City near the end of 2008. Secondly, when similarly inspired (which shifted their perspective once again), when producing and recording in Bangkok in early 2010. And finally, bloom in stereo’s songs also benefits from the collaboration with international musicians all over Europe and the World in sundry tasks from guest studio musicians, live performance with international players on stage to flesh out the instrumental part of the compositions, and in production as well.
For post-production, the duo got Guillaume Macherel (sound engineer & guitar player) on board, who did the greatest portion of the mixing and who was of invaluable support during the final arrangements of the songs.
Sonya Michelle Jackson (lyricists/singer-songwriter) got to know and admire the music of bloom in stereo during the recordings in New York in 2008. Not only does she support the duo by writing lyrics for some of their songs, but she also took over the band’s management in spring 2010. Near the same time, bloom in stereo also signed a record deal with damp-music, who plan to release the duo’s new album in September 2010.
During live concerts, the duo convinces audiences to be deeply moved with a passionate vocal and stellar instrumental performance, all with an independent, innovative style of music. Backed up live by a rotating host of impressive musicians in their own rights are a pianist, a drummer and a guitar player. bloom in stereo’s talents, experience and professionalism on the World stage ensures a perfected live acoustic experience, which only extends to their songs, lifting them to a higher level.
