Amniotic Reaction event will finally be held in the amazing Powerhouse Arena bookstore in Brooklyn.
This unusual place is located in the trendy Dumbo distrit. Far from being a simple store, Powerhouse Arena is a real cultural institution which tries to promote literature, culture through a wild range of initiatives. Hosting some artists is one of those. With his 22 foot-ceiling over the 5,000-sq ft ground floor, Powerhouse is a stunning venue to receive Guilain Joncheray's event. The artist himself will settle his 9 pieces in a way to create a poetic walk trough the space, the images and the music... Letting people mooving and discovering each piece its sensibility, its message, its artistic particularity through an original ballad.

Guilain Joncheray on Environmentalism...

2007-05-16T09:40:00.000-07:00

In French "sea" and "mother" are phonetically identical. But the similarity between these two words is not only auditory but symbolic: these are two things which gave birth to humanity...
My musical universe expressed by this new record offers its environmental stance.
For me Environmentalism will succeed if the young generations are educated and transmit their knowledge to their children.
Imagine Environmentalism as a full academic discipline...Why are too many parents still careless and not teaching their children how to help our planet, our oceans with small and simple actions?
I ask to all politicians to continue writing their notes on this music score!
I congratulate all associations, NGO's and other groups that fight daily for our seas' survival!
And I ask you not to forget that Water is Life (as the Tuareg proverb says: "Amane Imane")

How everything started...

2007-04-25T09:32:00.000-07:00

Guilain Joncheray co-produced his first worldwide success in 1993 with the Grammy nominated “Deep Forest” that went gold and platinum over and again.

In 1996, he launched the Celtic beat of “DAO DEZI”
In spite of his experience and success, he never produced his own work that he’s been composing for years.

Guilain started playing piano at the age of 5 and found his life’s passion. His family history is somber and at 13, this instrument of expression was taken from him but he never stopped playing in his head…
This new project, Amniotic Reaction,is his soul’s offering to the sea; a mosaïque of color and cultures.
