Jean F. Cochois

about

For more than 10 years now, The Timewriter aka Jean F. Cochois has been respected as one of the top producers of the international house scene. His trademark style can be characterised by its dense and atmospheric sound which, based on sophisticated musicality and thoughtful profundity, goes far beyond dancefloors and mere entertainment. Take UK Muzik magazine's judgement as a good measure: "This is real 21st century soul music, overflowing with magic". Under various pseudonyms he has been releasing 12" and artist albums on such renowned labels as Plastic City, Mole Listening Pearls, Elektrolux and American labels such as Wave Music, Driftwood, and Fiji. The many facets of his artist personality are highlighted by his striking ability to amalgamate the deep soul of Motown with synthetic sound productions. While still at boarding school, he eagerly explored the field of composition and became familiar with the most diverse music styles. He looked up to bands like Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, Thomas Dolby, Alan Parsons, Vangelis and Jean Michelle Jarre. Motown artists like Bobby Womack, Marvin Gaye or The Four Tops are also among his heroes to the present day. As other important sources of inspiration he includes bands like Roxy Music (Bryan Ferry) and Marillion (Fish) who fascinate him with their slight tendency towards melancholy and calming seriousness. As a producer he creates albums which over the years are far from losing their magic and appeal.
