Influenced by the likes of Björk, Coco Rosie or even Serge Gainsbourg, Bix Medard points towards 'la nouvelle chanson française' in an electro-gothic, down-beat style. Early 2008, Peter Clasen, leader of electronic band Neven and Bix, were asked to perform during a fashion show by Y-Dress. Soon they worked on more songs. Bix Medard was born. The electronics and new-wave-influenced bassplaying by Peter Clasen are combined with the sweet soft voice and organic flute playing of Bix. Momentary based in Brussels, the very chaotic capital of Europe, Bix worked all over the place. Painting, performance art, writing poetry, Bix worked in Oslo, Kyoto and Paris, amongst others. Her lyrics reflect the contradictions and plurality of today’s society, a multicultural, contemporary and digital world. 14 songs to be filed under "pop", with extra tags such as psychedelic, minimal, new-wave, gothic, post-punk, trip-hop, chanson and down-beat. Kitch but never ridiculous. The overall sound of the CD is retro vintage. Psychedelic echos from the sixties, monophonic synths from the seventies, typical drummachines and effects from the eighties. And yet all elements, voice, flute, bass, and electronics remain organic. Their first CD is released on Altaïr Musik in Februari 2009. April 2009, Bix Medard reaches #32 in the CMJ charts (College Music Journal, USA). The second Bix Medard CD with remixes is released at the end of 2009, in collaboration with fashion designers Y-Dress? (Why dress?). The 'Y-dress?' album had a Tokyo premiere on november the 27th 2009. 2010, was a recording year for Bix Medard. Lots of care and attention went into the production of their third CD "Take a deep breath", a very personnal record. 12 melancholic, breathy, downbeat, dark tunes, sung by Bix, mostly in French, with some sung in English, Japanese and Italian. "Take a deep breath" is released in february 2011.

Are you ready I’m waiting for you As always waiting for you You are my soul You are my eyes You are my heard Legs, give me strength Arms give me hope Hands, let me free Are you ready I want to go I want to run I want to save you From the gun
