The sounds of the universe

are in the history of contemporary music that have become legendary. Space and Didier Maruan are the pioneers of space disco music, the creators of a new direction of music.

1977. The band, created in 2000, created a revolution in music using synthesizers, rhythmic structure and fantastic visual aesthetics to create their own sound universe. Their music is an extremely melodic mixture of science, space, futurism, which in an instant conquered the whole world.

Monaco resident, Didier Maruan says he learned to read notes and letters at the same time. At the age of five, he was already convincingly pressing the piano keys and began composing his songs in 10 years. Didier then moved to Paris, where she graduated from the Conservatory. However, he did not choose classical music, but began writing songs for popular pop singers. But everything in his life changed after he met the synthesizer, which was an exotic tool in the early 1970s.

The group overturns their time

's Space's own history began with one unsuccessful TV show. In the first half of the 1970s, the acquaintance of Didier Maruan invited him to write a tune in the popular science show "Magic Fly". The program was never broadcast, but the melody remained. And this song, with the same name, became the first hit of the band and the business card of the whole era.

Inspired by the success of the composition, Maruan creates a group and calls it "Space -" Space ". As Didier Maruan remembers." "Cosmos." "

maestro decided to fully reflect the concept and name of the group in his image. He appeared on stage in the astronaut costume, hiding his identity with the pseudonym" Ecama ". Such a decision was also made to avoid legal consequences caused At the moment, the audience was attracted to the world. The title song became a hit everywhere, ranging from radio to disco.

Interesting - Maruans recorded all the instrumental parties of the album alone, experimenting with synthesizers, which was still new to professional musicians. The second album "Deliverance" was released, with legendary drummer Ray Cooper (who worked with Elton John) - and the band again at the top of the world. Then a "Just Blue" drive was released, which also created a real sensation. The group then goes on a large -scale world tour, gathering full stadiums. "Space" received special love and recognition in Eastern European and USSR countries. In 1987, they became the first Western group to receive permission to travel to the Soviet Union.

Concert - Travel in space! But Didier Maruan himself, despite the fascination with technology and the magic of synthesizers, always stressed that his work in the center has a melody: "I use a lot of synthesizers, but the melody is most important to me. When it is ready, I start working on sounds, structures, arrangements. A human, soulful approach to music became the secrecy of the band's success. Their compositions are at the same time cold as space and warm as memories of youth.

1987. Maestro released the album "Space Opera" and "Symphonic Space Dream" (2002) and "From Earth to Mars" (2011), which was enthusiastic by critics and fans. The first and only concert in Latvia can be safely considered historic.

at Mežaparks Stage, Space will perform its most famous pieces - from Magic Fly to "Just Blue" and "Save Your Love". The concert will be accompanied by a unique laser show, especially for this tour. According to the directors, this will not be just a concert, but a real trip in time and space. Don't miss the chance to become a part of the music legend, to hear music that conquered the planet and remained forever. Space is more than just a group. This is space music!
