Maxence Cyrin

After having moved the world with his melancholy cover of the Pixies' hit "Where Is My Mind?" (over 250 million listens), the pianist went on to sign several albums of neo-classical music, of which he is one of the forerunners in France, including his last three albums for Warner Classics between 2020 and 2023, where the piano largely dominates, with occasional strings (he is sensitive to them) and synthesizers (which he used and abused during his youth). He averages a million unique listeners a month on Spotify, placing him in the Top Ten of French streamers worldwide in the solo piano category. As fate would have it, a number of synchro appearances on TV series (Mr Robot, The Leftovers) and commercials (Narciso Rodriguez) accelerated his recognition, which was then confirmed by his tours in France and the United States. "Passenger" , his 9th album weaves together Ambient, Minimalist and Neoclassical styles. These eleven compositions often evoke escapism (Océan, Slow Train, Road to Nowhere), as the artist often needs to leave his Montmartre home to seek inspiration; but also introspection (Rêve, Mirrors, Under A Glass Bell). Nor does the pianist hesitate to express his melancholy or regrets (Daedalus, Hermione, The Last Wave), as well as life lived as an experience (Passenger).
