Trained in piano at a young age, Yann Nicolas got his first synthesizer as a teenager. After leaving music aside for a couple of decades, Yann Nicolas came back to music with synthesizers, machines that enable him to design his own sounds, which he uses in his improvisations. His music is airy, inviting the listener to an inward journey.
