Embarking on an electrifying journey through the synesthetic landscapes of electronic music, Franck Rivoire, known professionally as Danger, emerges as a distinguished figure in the realm of sonic artistry. Born in 1984 in Saint-Chamond, France, Danger’s artistic odyssey began not with music, but with the visual arts, crafting his creative identity as a graphic designer and comic book artist under the same moniker that would later define his musical persona.

Danger’s musical awakening was catalyzed by an eclectic array of influences, ranging from the cinematic scores of luminary directors like Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, and John Carpenter, to the immersive soundscapes of video game giants Capcom and Konami. His sonic palette was further enriched by the classical compositions of Johann Sebastian Bach, the pioneering electronic sounds of Jean Michel Jarre and Herbie Hancock, and the raw energy of Thunderdome compilations. This diverse tapestry of inspirations laid the groundwork for Danger’s unique sound, a blend of nostalgic melodies and cutting-edge electronic rhythms.

In 2006, the digital realm of Myspace became the launchpad for Danger’s musical career, leading to collaborations with various labels and culminating in his alliance with Ekler’o’shock. This partnership bore fruit in the form of his debut EP, « 14/09/2007 », marking the beginning of an EP trilogy that would chart his evolution as an artist. Danger’s discography continued to expand, with notable releases like « July 2013 », accompanied by a visually captivating video that unveiled the genesis of his iconic mask—a symbol of his artistic identity and a shield against his inherent shyness. This mask, inspired by the mythos of comics and video games, became a hallmark of his performances, marrying the worlds of music and visual art.

Danger’s contributions to the sonic landscapes of video games, notably with the electro-infused scores for « Furi » and « Haven », underscore his ability to weave his electrifying beats into the fabric of interactive storytelling. His debut album, « 太鼓 », and subsequent collaborations, including a track with Lil Brain, showcase his versatility and continued exploration of electronic music’s boundless possibilities. Danger’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of music and art, inviting us to explore the depths of our imaginations and the rhythms that move us.
