About Releaux

Born to two professional musicians, Releaux enjoyed immersive exposure to nearly all genres of music from an early age. A timely introduction to the pioneering sounds of vanguard electronic artists including Wendy Carlos, Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, Tomita, and Kraftwerk led to a lifelong fascination with synthesis and finding new expressive possibilities not only through musical composition, but within the textures of sounds themselves.

Working nights and weekends in the 90s as a club DJ and “live remixer,” Releaux developed a deep love of house, techno, funk, and electronica. Following an after-hours introduction to The Orb and Brian Eno, he gained a passion for the free-form sonic vocabulary possible in ambient music. Finding this radical departure from traditional song structure liberating, he began writing a great deal of music that was contemporary ambient in approach, while calling back to the more structured progressive electronic of the 70s and 80s.
