Mezerg – Totally Unique

Posted by Team APATA | Sep 16, 2020

Marc Mezergue aka Mezerg started playing piano at 6 in Bordeaux, France his hometown. He received classical lessons for 10 years before jumping into a jazz cursus at the National Music Conservatory of Bordeaux. He has been part of many different Jazz and World Music bands for almost 10 years. During his Jazz period he discovered electronic music and felt in love with it immediately. That’s the reason why, in 2017, he decided to launch his own project to reunite his two passions, classical piano and techno music. MEZERG PianoBoomBoom was officially born.

Mezerg in one sentence is an EDM one-man band, talented creator of PianoBoomBoom, with musical skills from the piano to the theremin. Mezerg is a pioneer of modern music technology often seen playing the theremin which is the instrument creating the base line you hear in his music. The theremin is an electronic musical instrument controlled without physical contact by the musician playing it.

Mezerg music is a genuine mix of Piano and BoomBoom (aka Techno music). Hands and feet linked to his instruments with his whole body is at use, merging electronic and acoustic music. He has created an organic new sound, that he loves to disrupt by adding weird stuff to the chords of his Piano. Mezerg has played over 100 shows on his 2018 European tour from Parisian Squats to the Luxembourg Contemporary Art Museum playing alongside Emir Kusturica, Etienne de Crecy, and Acid Arab.

With a YouTube channel subscription of 52K and growing, Mezerg is a championed unique talent with on point timing and technique in his videos that demonstrates he’s not only a talented musician but a creative musician. Using his hands and feet to great effect while merging acoustic and electronics Mezerg produces great 4/4 dancefloor beats. He also makes his own musical creations such as ‘Watermelon Piano’ when looking for something new.

Collaborations also appear to be keen projects for the artists with well-known musicians including Waagul, an amazing finger-tapping style guitarist and digeridoo player.
