The Band O headed by Olivier Marguerit will be the French artists invited to perform in Manila in celebration of the Francophonie Day on March 21 at the Alliance Française de Manille.
O
Olivier Marguerit, aka O is a young (33 years old) multi-instrumentalist that you have already seen on stage with Syd Matters, Mina Tindle or Chicros. Guitars, bass, keyboards, vocals: this graduate of the American School of Modern Music touches everything with skill and modesty, always a little on stage withdrawal, but decisive in his musical contributions, harmonious, precise and delicate.
After an experience of personal composition within the duet My Girlfriend Is Better Than Yours, through which he learned to carry a musical project from start to finish (two 45s and a mini album Foreplay), Olivier finally asserts its copyright personality - original performer composer, solo and under pseudonyms O, with a first mini album of 5 tracks, which will be released exclusively in vinyl 33rpm (as "the best way to make music exist today is to make it a little unusual. ", according to Olivier).
Between French-touch (Daft Punk, Tellier, Phoenix) and pop experimentalists (Robert Wyatt, Todd Rundgren, Sufjan Stevens), Ohm part1 (a tribute to Kraftwerk) reveals five songs where the melody is king, but do not hesitate to question the verse-chorus format while claiming some "naiveté", rather than as we hear the sincerity, honesty, true exposure. Five songs sung in French and English, and distributed on both sides such as those of the same coin, drawing a picture, circular and generic O, which speaks better than anyone.
The band O will also perform on March 20, 2017, Monday, 6:00 PM at DLS - CSB - School for Design and Arts
