Biography

Nova Nova originated in 1992, making the band one of the pioneers of the French electronic musical scene. They were first signed on the mythical and now defunct Rave Age imprint, the first ever French techno label, and have been one of the best known electronic live acts in France, with performances at the Rex and the Transmusicales de Rennes in 1994.

Their first ep, « Metaphysic ? » comes out in july 94 on F Communications and introduces their house rich in melodies and emotions. From that time on, Nova Nova’s purpose is to fill a gap in the electronic production by introducing a « classical » sense in their work, trying to make compositions that respect the harmonic rules of the other styles of music.

In May 1995, « Zarathoustra », their first mini-album foreshadows a medieval and Celtic inspiration with a track like « Nova Cantica » as well as initiated a shift towards a more moody kind of music with sensual and mellow sequences. But rather than “ambiant”, Nova Nova prefer the notion of spleen to describe their music, between ecstasy and melancoly, where sadness is present but hope prevailing. Spleen and ideal ?

March 1996 sees the release of « Ex-ep », which Nova Nova consider as their best work to date. For the first time, accoustic instruments appear, such as a piano giving tracks likes « Tones » or « See » enough meaning to bypass the use of electronic instruments.
