Anton Dhouran

Anton Dhouran is Paris-based a young composer, musician and DJ. He is 23 years old and has already signed with several labels such as Diynamic music, Einmusika, Chapter 24. He has had endorsements from artists such as Solomun, Dixon, Nick Warren, John Digweed. Born into a movie-maker family, Anton’s interests centred initially around film before finally focusing on music in cinema. He found that film compositions carried intense emotion, a vast variety of styles and musical complexity which appealed to him. It was at this point that he decided to take up an instrument starting with the classical guitar at the age of 10. This is an instrument which still echoes in many of his pieces, and that he uses for his live performances on stage. Aside from film music, it also drew extensive inspiration from famous guitar players such as Jose Gonzalez and Jeff Buckley. The style of this up-and-coming composer bears the hallmarks of these first influences, containing electronical, instrumental and cinema-inspired overtones. Anton Dhouran applies the same contemporary music undercurrent in the music that he uses both for the stage and for listening. This composer aims to merge modern digital sound with classically inspired instrumental work, melding them both on stage and in the sound studio, blending synthesisers, violins, flutes, guitars, percussion, drum machines, drums, classical singing…
