Release date: Sep 13, 2024
Quadri, also known as Adrien Quartenoud, unveils Panorama, an album that merges electronic rhythms and ambient melodies. Inspired by cinema and video games, this new release offers immersive and introspective compositions, while integrating influences from Air and Trent Reznor. A unique work to discover.
Born in 1985 in the picturesque village of Treyvaux, Switzerland, Adrien Quartenoud was immersed in traditional and classical melodies by his parents, both amateur musicians. His mother, a singer, and his father, a bugler, sparked his early passion for music. Naturally talented on the piano, Adrien preferred playing by ear over the rigors of sheet music.
Creativity wasn't limited to music. With a natural inclination for drawing, he studied multimedia design in Fribourg and founded his communication agency in 2010. But music remained his refuge. In the group Francis Francis, Adrien explored digital sounds, recording two significant albums, one of which was made in Brussels during a state of emergency
In his home studio, he became Quadri, launching into personal projects like 7 jours and Une lune, where each track was created in a single evening. Despite post-COVID fatigue, Adrien continued his musical journey with ambient albums like Reflexive Loop and the tribute Rainy Tributes, delving into introspective compositions.
With Panorama, he reinjects rhythm into his music, drawing inspiration from Air, Trent Reznor, and Thom Yorke. Every note and chord transports listeners into various video game worlds and contemplative film scenes. Adrien embodies the balance between artistic creation, professional responsibilities, and family commitments, constantly reinventing himself and offering an authentic, deep vision of his music.
