Nicolas Godin

A (relatively) in-depth analysis of French musician Nicolas Godin in (just under) fifteen minutes.The French electronic music duo Air was formed in 1995 by Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel. Godin was born in Paris and studied architecture and Jean-Benoît Dunckel was a mathematics student.To begin with, Air was a solo project. Godin, an amateur musician, was asked by a friend to compose a song for a compilation to be released by Source, a small French independent label. 'Modulor Mix', a tribute to Le Corbusier, was recorded on Godin's Portastudio, and appeared on the Source Lab album. With several remixes, it was re‑released on British label Mo' Wax in 1996.In 2015, Godin released his first solo album Contrepoint (Because Music), inspired by the music of Bach. Godin also composed the soundtrack for French series A Very Secret Service (2015–2018) and his second album Concrete and Glass was released in 2020.In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.A huge thank you to the wonderful Heather Murray.https://buymeacoffee.com/lownoiseWhy buy me a coffee?Low Noise is proudly ad-free.
