SUMMARY:French 79 - CLOSE TO THE GIANTS
LOCATION:Howard Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Crowned the heir to the French Touch and dubbed by Jean-Michel 
 Jarre himself\, Simon Henner (French 79)\, has established himself as an e
 ssential pillar of the global electronic music scene. In the space of thre
 e foundational albums (Olympic\, Joshua\, and TEENAGERS)\, the Marseille-b
 ased producer has shaped a singular\, immersive\, and viscerally unifying 
 musical universe. If his music reaches far beyond the boundaries of the te
 chno sphere\, it is thanks to its synesthetic power: his harmonic sequence
 s and arpeggios transform sounds into emotional landscapes\, creating a un
 iversal connection with his audience. Today\, the impact of French 79 is r
 eflected in staggering numbers. He gathers a community of 770\,000 fans an
 d accumulates over 1.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify. His first thr
 ee albums have generated more than 150 million streams\, driven by music v
 ideos that exceed 50 million views. He continues to rack up prestigious ce
 rtifications\, with two export platinum singles (Diamond Veins and Lovin F
 eeling)\, not to mention the resounding diamond single Moon\, produced and
  co-composed for Kid Francescoli. On stage\, the triumph is absolute: his 
 last tour thrilled 180\,000 spectators across 106 dates in 23 countries\, 
 with a string of sold-out shows from Paris to Los Angeles. His creative in
 fluence has also conquered new spaces: he composed the original soundtrack
  for Reda Katebs film Sur un fil\, scores campaigns for prestigious brands
  (Apple\, Dior\, LOral\, Emily in Paris)\, and creates monumental events\,
  whether its the video mapping of Place Stanislas in Nancy or performing a
 longside Cerrone for New Years Eve on the Champs-lyses. Yet\, at the peak 
 of this effervescence\, a vital need for a break emerged. Far from the pro
 tective bubble of tour life (sound engineers\, managers\, crowds)\, Simon 
 Henner felt the urgent need to return to calm\, to lose himself in order t
 o find himself\, and to listen to the silence. A huge enthusiast of extrem
 e and outdoor sports (paragliding\, kite surfing\, ski touring\, sailing\,
  etc.)\, the artist has made radical adventure his new creative laboratory
 . To design his fourth album\, expected by the end of 2026\, French 79 rel
 ocated his studio. Fleeing software and sedentary comfort\, he built his o
 wn modular synthesizer housed in a suitcase. This nomadic studio followed 
 him into extreme environments: from his sailboat in the middle of the Medi
 terranean Sea in the dead of night\, to isolated mountain huts surrounding
  the 4\,000-meter peaks of Chamonix. By reconnecting with a primitive and 
 carnal relationship with electronics (plugging in cables in the freezing c
 old\, recording sound directly to tape)\, he has transformed adrenaline an
 d physical fear into musical matter. This new opus will be a philosophical
  quest\, resonating as a double homage to the pioneers of extreme explorat
 ion and to the overwhelming immensity of nature.\n\nBoletos: https://www.t
