Yann Nguema, Matthieu Fays, Joan Guillon and Stéphane Babiaud
Yann Nguéma
Coming from a scientific background, Yann Nguema finally turned to artistic creation. As a musician, he founded the group EZ3kiel in 1992, for which he developed an entire visual production that has become a reference and a trademark. His work focuses mainly on live performances, with constant research into the association of image and music. He very quickly integrated the computer tool into his creative process by developing his own software and adding an interactive dimension to his productions. As a designer of exhibitions, installations and scenography, he has conceived numerous projects that combine technology, research and poetry. He is currently an artist ambassador for the Lyon Festival of Lights.
Stéphane Babiaux - Percussionist, drummer
The piano, singing, drums and percussion have cradled the youth of this musical jack-of-all-trades who, after spending a few years at the conservatory and participating in the birth of numerous groups such as Hemp (1993 to 2000), Hutchinson (discovered at the Transmusicales de Rennes in 2004), the Ducoin orchestra, Sire K, joined the group EZ3kiel in 2006, as a guest artist, and then permanently. He established the list and the number of musicians necessary for the creation of the large ensemble which he directed for the Naphtaline concerts at the Hexagone Scène nationale de Meylan.
For the Rencontres-i, he designed the visuals "Essaimer" and "Partager" as well as the posters for Les Mécaniques poétiques and Naphtaline. He also designed all the images that appear in the Mécaniques poétiques installations.
Joan Guillon - Guitarist, programmer
Guitars, synthesizers, samplers, computers are the basic tools of this instrumentalist and composer.
He is at the origin of the creation of most of EZ3kiel's tracks.
Matthieu Fays - Drummer
Drummer since the age of seventeen, he is, with Yann Nguéma, at the origin of the creation of the group.
Angelo Guiga, Senior Technician
