Sylvain Chauveau

Sylvain Chauveau is a French composer, born in Bayonne in 1971. After singing and playing guitar in rock bands, he began composing on his own in 1998. His music is minimal and quiet, written for acoustic instruments, electronics and silence, and he is known for the piano and chamber pieces of his early albums on FatCat's 130701 imprint and for later works built on near silence. Sylvain Chauveau's Un autre décembre was among the early releases on 130701.
