Biography

edit

At the age of six, Anthony Cedric Vuagniaux falls on his uncle's old synthesizer Roland. That day, he discovers a great fascination for sounds. His mother subscribes him to the Geneva Conservatory.

The boy continued to compose by himself with his synthesizer, other instruments and tape recorder. These first devices allowed him to work his music in his studio. [15]

In 1991 he founded a rock band. He also composed and performed as a drummer for Desdemona in the first concert parts of such groups Dionysos (French band) and Astonvilla (French bands).[1]

In the 2000s, he created his own label, Plombage Records, while composing under the name "Tony Snake" pseudonym to honor his herpetologist deceased father,[16] an electronic music project revealed in the albums : Rendez-vous chez le dentiste and Foufounes Alkantara mastered by the Björk and Daft Punk London's engineer "Nilesh Patel", and a remix for Detroit Grand Pubahs,[17][18] delivering performances in places such "La Java"[19] and Chez Régine[20] in Paris.

In 2010, Vuagniaux came back in his old love, privileging his music with machines such as tape recorders, Minimoog, Mellotron, Crumar, Farfisa, Solina, Clavinet, Fender Rhodes piano, old drum machines, and instruments of all ethnicities or even atonal like Waterphone.[21]

In December 2011, Vuagniaux composed music for video by photographer Régis Golay and La Compagnie 7273,[22] dancers and designers of Swatch watches "Climax", "Nil" et "Romance-S". Then won an award in 2012 at the Munich Film Festival.[23]

In April 2012, he released the album La Virago,[24] in which involved artists such as Alain Carre, Caroline Duris, Marion Devaud, Choral circle of Geneva and Sahoko Sakai.[25]

In 2014, Vuagniaux worked with François Corbier on the track Le Tango du maître chanteur released in Le Clan des guimauves album.[26]
