Paul Behnam
GENRES : INDIE ROCK / DREAM POP / AMBIENT / ELECTRONIC / ELECTROACOUSTIC
Self-taught guitarist, Paul draws his inspiration from Psychedelic Rock, Jazz and the ‘Musique Concrète’ of the 20th century.
After many years performing in rock bands, he moved to Berlin where he explored the many ways of playing instruments together with analog machines live, attracted by the endless possibilities offered by electronic music. This is where he started to work on sound design for films, animated movies and delve into acousmatic music, inspired by artists such as Luc Ferrari or Brian Eno. His first original score for the feature film HUBRIS is released in 2020.
Regarding acousmatic music, his first pieces composed under the moniker The Rainbow Machine has been presented at the Futura Festival in France and at MONOM in Berlin in 2020. Paul is currently working on his first solo LP which will be released in 2021, a concept-album blending French Chanson together with Electroacoustic music.
