Simon Henocq
Solo electronics

Conceived as a sound architecture in perpetual transformation, Simon Henocq's performance We use cookies shapes a raw and captivating reality. Between chaos and control, electro-noise pulsations and radical breaks, the music constructs itself as much as it falls apart. Nourished by acousmatic art, techno, and experimental music, this creation intertwines industrial and organic sounds. An intense sensory experience, at the border of gesture and matter.

« Total acclaim for Simon Henocq, who sculpted for nearly an hour without a downtime an intense electronic material - industrial techno trend - with as much finesse as vigor. We highly recommend by the way the album We Use Cookies, released in 2025, which constitutes the raw material of this breathtaking live performance. The undeniable peak of the evening and of the weekend. » Jérôme Provencal, Les Inrockuptibles
