Press Reviews Strasbourg is full of new talents: Olivier Fuchs in part of them. He places its keyboard to the service of various genders since 1988 where it scours spectacle and concert halls.(...)He attends the National music Academy in 1988 in jazz and improvised musics. Armand Angster, Jean-Louis Haguenauer and Pierre Michel are his professors (...) in June 1993, he wins the first price in the Theater festival of Amandiers, Paris. Then, he composes the theater play: «La clepsydre». He composes and records in 1994 for Radio France the music of «EVENEMENTS regrettables», by Yves Reynaud. The same year, Olivier Fuchs is solicited for the music of «Chemins and traverses» by Joan Ott. In 1995 finally, he writes and plays in «BATAILLES», by Roland Topor and Jean-Michel Ribes. From 1990 to 1995 he plays with various bands: between jazz - fusion, salsa and Brazilian music. With «Chromatic dispersion» he's on tour in France and Germany. He plays in England too, then in Switzerland, with the musician-poet Serge Alane.Candidates to the great shiver will be delighted to hear its musics where one perceives the influence déterminante of the world cinématographique.
