Shirtless and shoeless, TÂCHES sits cross-legged in the dirt gently taking in his mountain surroundings. It’s clear that he’s deep in thought as he mindfully traces the shape of a fallen leaf in his hand and a slight smile gently spreads across his face. There’s a tangible feeling of love and fascination communicated through the way he looks at the world around him and it’s precisely this holistic approach to creativity that makes him such a captivating artist. This is the makeup of a being that finds passion and inspiration anywhere he looks.
Contradictorily, he is as much a devotee to tradition as he is a breaker of rules. TÂCHES is uninterested in following trends to appear relevant, and instead seeks to provoke the senses through a deeply personal examination of world cultures. Conceptual without ever being pretentious, his music shows a deep rooted appreciation for the textures of the times passed and faraway places. There’s a certain urgency to capture the world as he perceives it; albeit a world seen through the rose tinted lenses of a creature forever romantically entangled with his surroundings.
There is no one way to sum up TÂCHES’s music, as it’s perpetually in growth, bending and swaying like a tree in the wind. This sonic metamorphosis is due to a primal need to experiment coupled with a deep longing to express the continually transforming experience of being human. Drawing heavily from emotion and memory, there’s a clear sense of nostalgia in all that he creates. His pure and unabashed desire to combine the things that he loves manifests itself as rich and evocative music with massive personality and palpable global flavours.
His desire to build upon the world in which his music exists led to the creation of his label GLITTER COWBOY - the peculiar home for the sonic documentation of his journey. When you listen to GLITTER COWBOY, you are nakedly experiencing life through the eyes of TÂCHES as he seeks to embody self-awareness and optimism, along with finding inner peace through nature, artistic expression and simplicity of living.
During the unexpected events of 2020, TÂCHES found himself isolated in the English countryside. Each day, as a means to maintain his sanity, he would retreat to the heart of the nearby woods, where he had trained a camera upon a desk he set up amidst the trees. There, he began to document his philosophy on the nature of creativity and the importance of musical expression. It was in these tranquil, sylvan surroundings that he first discovered a deep passion for sharing the knowledge and wisdom he had accumulated over the years. The videos he recorded went on to inspire many thousands of creatives across the globe. By popular demand, he began to formally coach those that sought his counsel as a mentor. The profound connection he felt with his students ignited a passion path. Since then, he has had the privilege of witnessing the transformative journeys of over one hundred musicians whom he has guided through the intricacies of mastering their art form.
