French 79 – Close to the Giants

French 79, the Marseille-based producer Simon Henner, brings his immersive electronic universe to Thalia Hall. Known for his synesthetic soundscapes that blend harmonic sequences with emotional landscapes, he has become a key figure in the global electronic scene. His performances are known for creating a visceral connection with audiences, drawing on his triple-platinum albums and high-energy live shows.

For his latest creative journey, Henner relocated his studio to extreme environments—from a sailboat in the Mediterranean to mountain huts in Chamonix. Building a nomadic modular synthesizer, he transformed adrenaline and physical fear into musical matter, infusing his upcoming album with a philosophical quest inspired by extreme exploration and nature's immensity.
