David Federmann

戴维费洛蒙（David Federmann）是法国的新爵士（Nu-Jazz）音乐家与制作人，出生于史特拉斯堡，现居于巴黎。自学多种器乐演奏，但最为人熟知的是他的钢琴演奏与作曲天赋。 戴维费洛蒙从13岁便开始参与爵士俱乐部中的即兴演奏，在史特拉斯堡与巴黎两地，更是在舞台上遇见数以百计的爵士高手，每一晚他都根据不同的组合与风格，改编出全新的音乐风貌。这些经验的累积，造就了戴维费洛蒙的音乐品味。 戴维费洛蒙同时是一位专业的声音工程师，身兼现场演出的音乐家与录音室中的技术人员双重身分，使他更积极寻求声响的最佳呈现，希望能在作品中融合他的工作专业与最喜爱的爵士音乐。 在现场演出时，戴维费洛蒙是爵士俱乐部的宠儿。但透过录音室作品，他有更多的空间尝试不同音乐类型的融合与呈现。 2013年，以戴维费洛蒙为首的VMAJ7工作室诞生。VMAJ7不只是一个唱片厂牌，更是串联了超过30位优秀音乐伙伴的大型计划，第一张合辑便在2014年获得法国GRAND PRIX SACEM大奖肯定。 戴维费洛蒙受到许多不同年代的爵士风格启发，从50的咆勃（Be-Bop）、70年代的爵士放克、80年代以麦可杰克森（Michael Jackson）为首的爵士灵魂流行乐（soul-jazzy-pop），一直到90年代的饶舌、迷幻爵士（Acid Jazz）。此外，2000年代早期的新爵士（Future Jazz）、断拍（Broken Beat）风格，更是打破了他创作音乐的规则。 身处法国爵士圈最有才华的音乐家与歌手之中，戴维费洛蒙混搭传统爵士元素与当代都会音乐，持续地翻新爵士与电子音乐的潮流。 David Federmann is a French Jazz musician and studio producer. He was born and raised in Strasbourg and now lives in Paris. He is a self-taught artist and plays many instruments but is best known for his talent as a pianist and a composer. David attributes his musical sense to his early involvement in jazz clubs and his affinity for jam sessions that began at the age of 13. Between Strasbourg - his hometown - and Paris, he has met hundreds of musicians on stage, adapting his sound according to their styles and creating new musical alchemies every night. David is also a skilled sound engineer who is often hired by radio and TV production companies. When he moves from live performance into the studio, he seeks sonic perfection, blending his workmanship of advanced technology with his love for jazz. In 2013, when David brought together the best musicians he had played with on a big studio project, VMAJ7 was born. More than just a record label, VMAJ7 is a collective of 30 musicians. The first collaborative album was awarded at the GRAND PRIX SACEM 2014. David Federmann is the son of Jazz Clubs as a live performer. But after years of experience in composition and mixing, he now considers studio creation as a unique musical practice. Thanks to his knowledge of studio techniques, he became a WAVES & LANDR since 2017. His influences: From the Miles Davis Be-Bop of the 50s, to the George Benson Jazz-Funk genre of the 70s, David has a thirst for soul-jazzy-pop from the 80s that can only be quenched by classics such as Michael Jackson’s releases produced by Quincy Jones. David also takes his musical inspiration from Rap/Acid Jazz of the 90s, such as A Tribe Called Quest, Guru & the Jazzmatazz, and MC Solaar. What’s more, his discovery of Future Jazz/Broken Beat tracks in the early 2000s / Jazzanova, St Germain, Kyoto Jazz Massive, 4 Hero and Nicola Conte were game-changers for him. Heir to this rich heritage, David Federmann is constantly renewing the art of mixing Jazz codes with Modern Urban Music styles and is always surrounded by the most talented musicians and singers from the French Jazz scene.
