It was fully 22 years ago that Nicolas Godin released his first recording under the pseudonym Air. Following the success of the track, titled ‘Modulor’, he asked Jean-Benoît Dunckel if he would like to become one half of his new atmospheric alias. So, who is nitrogen and who is oxygen? To be honest, there’s no need to get bogged down in such trivialities: Air’s music is a heavenly mix of countless chemical elements, all dissolved in a seductive solvent of beautiful harmonies.

Sharing a passion for the music of Kraftwerk, Brian Eno, Philip Glass and Grace Jones, and for the unmistakable tones of Moog synths, Rhodes pianos and late-sixties Fender guitars, Air’s sound – far more expansive than the French house scene to which the duo are affiliated – encompasses a vast range of contemporary music.

From first album Moon Safari (1998) to 2014’s Music for Museum, with career highlights on the way such as the soundtrack to Sofia Coppola’s Virgin Suicides (1999), Air have rightly earned a reputation as one of the essential pioneers of French music, alongside other legendary figures such as Michel Legrand, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Daft Punk and Jean Michel Jarre. Proof – were it needed – comes by way of their two Victoires de la Musique awards and their status as Knights in the Order of the Arts and Literature of the French Republic.

Following a tour to celebrate their 20th birthday, and 10 years on from their last appearance in Lyon, the duo will open the 15th edition of Nuits Sonores in the unique setting of the Auditorium de Lyon, playing a selection of songs from their formidable back catalogue.
