Nara~yan - The Diamond Road (2017)

Electronica and saxophones: My music style is largely influenced by Erik Satie, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michel Jarre, progressive rock, jazz, world music, ambient, techno, trance, electro-dance and meditative music.

To describe my style I would say that my music is very emotional and intuitive… I like beautiful and complexe melody variations and mysterious - intriguing - mystic atmospheres. In short, I'm searching for the perfect mix between sci-fi, freedom, high energy spirituality and nature… But there's also a subtle battle between light and darkness in the background…

Let me explain : I was born in Nice (France) and started music just after discovering Jean-Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream, playing the piano for hours and hours in a very intuitive, natural and free way, I was improvising 100%. Then, from the age of 16, I started playing drums in several rock bands untill I discovered the saxophone (just after listening to 'Ron's piece', an incredible music performed by astronaut-saxophonist Ron McNair and composed by Jean-Michel Jarre). I litteraly felt in love for the sound of soprano saxophone, then I played the tenor and the alto and discovered Stan Getz, John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter. Meanwhile, I was also starting playing on little synthesizers and recorded my very first compositions (I was still improvising 100%). A the age of 26, I became very interested in spirituality and meditation, this has a lot of influence on my art untill today. ~ Nara~yan.
