La roue tourne - performance

Antoine Le Dreff (b. 1993) is a sound artist based in Rennes (France), with training in architecture (ENSA Paris-Malaquais) and sound design (TALM Le Mans – IRCAM).
He is interested in electronic and acoustic instrument making, radio waves, obsolete technologies, and sound in space. He is a resident artist at B612.
As a musician and producer, he is mostly active as René Danger. In his performances, he merges his voice with modular synthesizers and his gameboys, mixing traditional melodies and electronic soundscapes.
He co-founded the label Editentités, a platform for exploring traditional and futuristic sounds, and is a member of Ondorphine, a collective of sound artists and radio hacktivists.
