Chloé Thévenin (F)

Chloé Thévenin (1976), a French composer, DJ, and producer, is known for her distinctive style that blends minimalism, emotional complexity, and sonic experimentation. She effortlessly moves between club culture and the art world, creating a unique musical language that weaves intense rhythms and abstract sounds. Her narrative and cinematic approach makes her works true sonic journeys that evoke images and emotions. Tracks from albums like The Waiting Room (2007) and Endless Revisions (2017) blend rich harmonies and intricate electronic landscapes with a touch of melancholy and tension. This approach makes her productions feel more like soundtracks for imaginary worlds rather than simple techno or house tracks. Chloé’s music oscillates between the physicality of rhythm and introspection. This balance is also reflected in her studio productions, where sharp rhythms and pulsating basslines coexist with more fluid and abstract structures. Beyond traditional music production, Chloé has engaged in numerous multidisciplinary projects, collaborating with directors, choreographers, and visual artists. For instance, the Endless Revisions Live project combines her music with immersive visual performances, while collaborations with choreographer Gisèle Vienne explore the boundary between sound and movement. These works highlight her inclination toward an expanded concept of electronic music that goes beyond pure listening to embrace other forms of artistic expression. Finally, Chloé is the founder of the label Lumière Noire, which promotes eclectic electronic music, ranging from minimalist techno to psychedelic influences. The label stands out for its strong visual identity, with artistic collaborations involving illustrators and photographers.
