About the artist

François Ier, spearheaded by François Giesberger since 2013, emerges as an electronic music project that embodies a captivating melancholic allure. Co-founding the collective and label Boussole Records marked a pivotal moment, coinciding with the release of their debut EP, "1515," which swiftly garnered attention for its introspective mood.

Subsequent EPs such as "Neptune" (2014), "Nyrmal" (2015), and "Hôtel du Nord" (2016) on Boxon Records and Haut Cinq, exhibit François' commitment to crafting music that is ethereal, danceable, and evocative. Initially rooted in local scenes, François Ier's growing media presence has propelled them onto national and international stages, gracing venues and festivals including Transmusicales de Rennes, Montreux Jazz Festival, 36h de St Eustache, Garorock, and Le Trianon in France, as well as captivating audiences in New York and Berlin.

​

After an extended break, he founded his own label, Standard Records, which he inaugurated with the release of CYCLE I, the first album of Standard, his side project in close collaboration with B.R.U.M.E. Today, it is the turn of his first album, Mathusalem, to be revealed to the public.

Mathusalem

5 years after the release of his fourth and last EP, François Ier is back with Mathusalem, his debut album. This first opus, very personal and essentially instrumental, reflects a panel of extremely varied influences and was conceived in the concern not to be anchored in a specific time and musical style, nor intended for a well targeted public.In the continuity of the releases having preceded it, Mathusalem is imbued with a form of melancholy, sometimes deep, sometimes joyful, sometimes contemplative, sometimes dancing and occasionnaly striving to combine both of these criteria.If its conception was spread out over several years in an intermittent way, François took care to preserve a form of sound homogeneity on this opus, which draws in a quasi-systematic way in sonorities resulting from emblematic synthesizers of the Seventies and Eighties and sometimes former.
