Simon Herody, born in 1996, is a French musician and sound artist who loves exploring the connections between landscapes, memories, and improvisation. He studied at the Villa Arson School of Fine Arts in Nice and has turned sound into a social and sculptural medium, always thinking about space and community.

Simon never formally studied music and never intended to. Completely self-taught, he started playing a plastic clarinet at the age of 20 without any thought of making music. He quickly got hooked and began experimenting with any instrument he could get his hands on: saxophone, accordion, piano, etc. He discovered electronic music composition in 2020 when he moved to Berlin and started recording on tape and cassettes making devotional instictive electro-acoustic ambient. In his compositions and performances, Simon mixes saxophone, flute, and piano, drawing inspiration from meditative and spiritual jazz while blending in various other influences. Improvisation is a big part of his process, helping him create immersive pieces where active listening and spontaneity change how we perceive time and space.
