Marc Moulin was an eminent Belgian musician, composer, and producer, renowned for his pioneering contributions to the jazz fusion and electronic music scenes. Born on August 16, 1942, his career spanned several decades, during which he distinguished himself as a versatile artist. Moulin was perhaps best known for founding the jazz-rock band Placebo (not to be confused with the later British rock band of the same name) in the early 1970s. The "Placebo Years 1971 - 1974," one of his notable works, showcases the innovative blend of jazz, funk, and electronic elements that characterized the band's sound and had a lasting influence on the development of European jazz fusion.
Throughout his career, Moulin continued to explore and evolve his sound, seamlessly transitioning into electronic music. Albums like "I am you" and "Mæssage," along with "East," are testaments to his ability to merge genres, incorporating elements of jazz, ambient, and downtempo into his electronic compositions. His work not only reflects his mastery over keyboards and synthesizers but also his visionary approach to music production and composition. Moulin's enduring legacy is marked by his experimental spirit and the indelible mark he left on jazz and electronic music worldwide. Sadly, the music world lost this visionary artist on September 26, 2008, but Marc Moulin's innovative contributions continue to inspire new generations of musicians and producers.
