AXX°NN ⤳ is a dreamer artist with an unpronounceable name. His music gives the impression of following the dreamlike adventures of a Thom Yorke who got lost into Twin Peaks. Between avant-pop and alternative music, his songs, carried by a voice overflowing with sensibility, reflect an artistic exploration opened to all audiences.
Influenced notably by David Lynch's cinema, David Bowie's and Xiu Xiu’s music, AXX°NN ⤳ (pronounced "Action") envisions his music as part of an emerging movement he calls "Neo-Surrealism." His attraction to experimentation drives him toward eclecticism and genre blending, aiming to challenge established norms. The mystery, the unexpected, the dream world, and catharsis are parts of his universe.
Born in France, pianist and multi-instrumentalist, AXX°NN ⤳ (real name Alexandre Abat) has just released his latest album, “Terrible Mix”. This collection of covers pays tribute to major songs that release strong emotions. These reimagined versions drift away from the source, opening a way to an alternative world.
He is also a pacifist artist committed to fighting social injustices. His opposition to violence and discrimination is a recurring theme in his music. His artistic ambition is driven by a desire for innovation and exploration of "Neo-Surrealism." His work is interspersed with elements such as raw emotions, disconcerting sound collages, theatricality, non-linearity, carefully crafted sonic textures—all in pursuit of his vision of "Beauty."
