AIR <\/strong>was born in Versailles (France) in 1995 thanks to the fellow feeling between multi-instrumentalist Nicolas Godin<\/strong> and the pianist and singer Jean- Beno\u00eet Dunckel.<\/strong> Today AIR <\/strong>is considered one of the leading bands in the French electronic music scene, in which they established themselves as innovators of this genre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project (an acronym for Amour, Imagination, R\u0207ve = Love, Imagination, Dream), led the two artists to merge their musical backgrounds to create an innovative and groundbreaking sound in the electronic world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1996, Godin<\/strong> and Dunckel<\/strong> published their first single \u201cModular Mix\u201d and two years later their first album Moon Safari.<\/em>  The single \u201cSexy Boy<\/strong>\u201d from the album immediately climbed the international charts making AIR <\/strong>one of the most influential bands in the electronic panorama and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One important milestone for the duo is their collaboration with the director Sofia Coppola for the soundtracks of two of her most acclaimed and renowned movies The Virgin Suicides<\/em> and Lost in Translation<\/em>, from which came out two albums: The Virgin Suicides<\/em> (2000) and Talkie Walkie<\/em> (2004).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 2016, AIR<\/strong> published their album Twentyears<\/em> for Parlophone Records, it is meant to be an anthology composed of two records comprising their most famous songs, unreleased collaborations, and live recordings to celebrate twenty years of activity, marked by experimentation translated into elegant electronic music that, combined with pop influences, creates their distinctive sound that has now become cult. The same year, the band came to Italy for a concert in Prato.<\/em> One year later they returned to Italy for the last date of the of Sexto\u2019nPlugged Festival 2017, <\/em>in Sesto al Reghena (PN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nel Giugno 2016 pubblicano per la Parlophone l\u2019album Twentyears<\/em>, un’antologia composta da due dischi che racchiude i loro brani pi\u00f9 celebri, collaborazioni inedite e registrazioni live a celebrazione del ventennio trascorso insieme: anni di sperimentazione tradotta in musica, fatta di un\u2019elegante elettronica che, unito con influenze pop, genera il loro riconoscibilissimo sound ormai diventato cult. Lo stesso anno tornano in Italia per un concerto a Prato per Settembre Prato \u00e8 Spettacolo<\/em> e l\u2019anno dopo si esibiscono al del Sexto\u2019nPlugged Festival<\/em> a Sesto al Reghena (PN) per la serata conclusiva della rassegna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12873,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"class_list":["post-1132","artisti","type-artisti","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAir - Ponderosa<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ponderosa.it\/en\/artist\/air\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Air - Ponderosa\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"AIR was born in Versailles (France) in 1995 thanks to the fellow feeling between multi-instrumentalist Nicolas Godin and the pianist and singer Jean- Beno\u00eet Dunckel.
