Solead

Charles Michaud is a producer, composer and DJ from France. He got into the world of music from a young age, it started at the age of 8 when he was playing the piano and studying music theory. At 15 he formed a 70's style psychedelic rockband playing guitar with Vincent Courcot, known under the name Tetraktys. Few years later, in 2000, they started together the Solead project in order to combine their knowledge of electronic music production.

Charles started a sound engineering course in Paris, and now beside music he's also working as a sound engineer in cinematography. In 1998 he gave up rock for psychedelic trance and started djing. Then he met Johannes Regnier (AKA Silicon Sound) with whom he started the Walhalla project. Their first tracks were discovered very soon and released by several French labels, and later also by foreign ones. In the summer of 2001 his solo project Triptych was born, presenting a style that was even more psychdelic and especially more funky.
