Astéréotypie

It all started more than ten years ago, with a poetry workshop. Christophe Lhuillier was then an educator within the Institut Médico-Educational (IME) of Bourg-la-Reine: "We launched a writing workshop with my colleague Claire. From the first session, their texts and their way of declaiming inspired us and I started to add music to it". After a first self-produced album released on the internet in 2012, they met the members of the group Moriarty during a workshop at the IME: Arthur Gillette and Eric Dubessay fell under the spell and became respectively bassist and drummer of Astéréotypie alongside Christophe on guitar and Benoît Guivarc'h on keyboard. Thus, they joined the independent label Air Rytmo (created by the members of Moriarty) which produced their second album The positive energy of the gods in 2017. The documentary of the same name, directed by journalist Lætitia Møller who follows them from the IME to concert halls, offers keys to understanding to the public and obtains several awards. It perfectly accompanies the release of the third opus, No guy looks like Brad Pitt in the Drôme, in the spring of 2022, which receives a warm welcome from the public and a very beautiful critical success. Since then, Astéréotypie has scoured concert stages and festivals throughout France. Everywhere, its singularity has left its mark. After 10 years of existence, the collective finally met its audience and is considered a full-fledged group.
