Igorrr

Gautier Serre (born 5 June 1984), better known as Igorrr, is a French composer and multi-instrumentalist known for blending many styles of music in his albums, including electronic music, breakcore, Baroque music, death metal, and trip hop.
Biography
Active since 2005, he released his first self-produced demos, Poisson Soluble and Moisissure, in 2006 and 2008, respectively. A reissue of these two demos was later released on the label Ad Noiseam in 2011 as a double CD.
In 2010, Igorrr released his album Nostril to critical acclaim. The magazine Les Inrockuptibles listed Nostril among the four most important albums in metal or electro along with bands like Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson and Ministry. The magazine Trax called it "confusing maturity" and a "work of craftsmanship." The music of Igorrr received airplay on radio stations such as France Culture, Le Mouv', and France Musique. Thereafter, Igorrr did many concerts in France and abroad, including Eastern Europe, Russia, Lebanon and North America.
He has also participated in various musical collaborations with bands such as Morbid Angel, on the album Illud Divinum Insanus - The Remixes released in 2012 on the label Season of Mist, and the group Vladimir Bozar 'n' ze Sheraf Orchestra, with which he shares credits on the album Universal Sprache: Thermostat 7.
Igorrr released a fourth album, "Hallelujah," in 2012, which took two years to complete. The release date was chosen as December 21, 2012, which some thought would be the day of the end of the world. He also played a concert at the famous Berghain club in Berlin on this evening to celebrate the release of the album. Hallelujah features many more real instruments than previous releases. The album represented many genres, and many musicians were invited to play on the album, including:
* Baroque singer Laure Le Prunenec
* Guitarist Teloch, best known as a member of the black metal band Mayhem
* Adam Stacey of Estradasphere on accordion
* Benjamin Violet, French violinist of Tryo
