About KERAVEL
Serge Keravel Biography Born in Quebec of a Breton father and a mother of Italian descent. Serge’s childhood is steeped in a multicultural world. He discovers classical, Russian, gypsy, French and jazz music. Drawn to everything that is artistic, his first attempts are at painting, sculpting and writing plays. All art forms interest and fascinate him. He searches for all things different, his perspective is simple and spontaneous. He moves from one medium to another with ease and enthusiasm. Like many young musicians of his generation, he forms a music band but its existence is short lived. Still, the band will perform several live shows. This experience confirms Serge’s own vision of music and so, he decides to pursue, solo, his musical evolution. Improvisation is the open door to his beloved piano. During this time, Serge will further develop his talents as a musician and a composer. His musical influences are diverse. He is intrigued by the vision of piano artist Keith Jarrett and by Joni Mitchell`s sensitivity and courage. He praises Peter Gabriel and Bjork for their efforts to change conventional music. Serge finds a new interest in the possibilities offered by the computer world. He discovers graphics first, experimenting with various software for four years, which bring him to explore forms and colours. Then, it happens: software such as Reason from Propellerhead and Logic from Emagic arrive on the market. It is the breakthrough Serge has been waiting for. He dives into this computer universe full of sounds, rhythms and digitalized musical instruments. In 2003, Serge creates his first demo and then, in 2004, a second one. Prolific, he decides to become his own producer, not having the patience to wait for answers from record companies. He feels the need to introduce and share his music with as many people as possible. In 2005, Serge starts his record company, Kassure Productions, dedicated to the production of non-conformist music. His hope is that this company will provide independent composers and musicians the means to express themselves, which are too often denied. In 2006, Serge releases his first album, MOODS. He called upon Justin Douglas for the mixing. The mastering was done by Peter J. Moore at the E-Room Mastering. In 2008, Serge produces his second album, NEXT. Pierre Messier mixed and mastered the album at Piccolo Studios. Instrumental music knowing no boundaries, Serge’s music can be heard and appreciated all over the world: South Korea, Australia, Belgium, England, Canada, Belarus, United States, etc... www.sergekeravel.com info@kassure.com tel: 613.282.1414
