[BTRY’060] SERGE GEYZEL - "BLACK MIRRORS" [2019]
Fizzling the borders between different worlds of music, Berlin-based musician Serge Geyzel originates from a classical and jazz music background. Born in Saratov (Russia), the musician dedicated 12 years of his life to the study of classical music with a specific focus on the piano.
New directions in life and music arrived with a move to Israel in 1999 where he fell in love with the jazz scene. It was here that he embarked upon a new journey, studying jazz piano at the Jerusalem Music Academy while playing gigs with his trio and other various ensembles.
His fascinating experience transported him from a background of traditional music into the limitless world of electronic music production as he began to experiment with software for creating new sounds. An exceptional standard of music production has been the end result.
Starting from 2009 till today, Serge Geyzel was invited to play live on major Electronic music venues and Festivals across Europe, while his debut release, a split vinyl EP alongside Autosim came out on Arkada Records in March 2019.
Since moving to Berlin in 2014, exploring the tendencies of electronic music in town, influencing his very own sound, Serge Geyzel combines his affinity to the early 2000’s electronica with the aesthetics of electro and dark ambient colors in his current music production.
Preferably using analog synthesizers and drum machines as well as field recordings and self-recorded acoustic instrument samples, the musical result is being a combination of poetic layers and heavy electro beats.
Alongside the solo production under his own name and the alias Hostage, Serge Geyzel currently works on a collaboration with one of the most remarkable dj's and producers of today's electro scene - Errorbeauty. Their tracks have been already featured on compilations such as Earthlings 2, Section 27, while the forthcoming releases includes labels such as Pyramid Transmissions, FBI, Outlaw 303 and more.
Serge Geyzel continues to live, compose and perform live music in the city of Berlin.
