Agoria (born Sébastien Devaud, January 16, 1976) is a French electronic record producer, composer and DJ. He made four albums including the soundtrack to the movie ''Go Fast''. He is one of the founders of the record label InFiné. Since he is attached to the city of Lyon, he also took part to the creation of the French indie and electronic music festival Les Nuits Sonores. ==Background and early life== Sébastien Devaud grew up in Valencin, in the French district of Isère.〔Sandra Moisson, « Agoria remet le son », in Télérama Sortir n°3184 spécial Lyon, January 19, 2011〕 As a child, he was already exposed to an artistic and musical background since his father was an architect and a record collector and his mother was an opera singer. His passion for electronic music started in 1988, at age 12 when he bought the record of ''Big Fun'' by Inner City. This record is the beginning of his love for Detroit techno. Chicago House, Acid House and Belgian New Beat, which hit "Rock to the Beat" by One O One is the epitome of the genre, are also a huge part of his inspirations, as well as French DJ Laurent Garnier. Around 15 or 16 years old, he attended a Jeff Mills' DJing performance. Impressed by the technique of the American DJ who uses three phonogragh turntables,〔Pre Movement 2010 Coverage – AGORIA on justqualitymusic.com〕 he buys a TechnicsSL-MK2 turntable and learns to mix. Agoria started out as a DJ himself, quickly followed by organizing his own parties together with a group of friends (who also gave Sébastien Devaud his artist moniker loosely named after Agora – the title of their party series, meaning “meeting place” in ancient Greek). In 1993, at age 17, he opens in a club for a DJ Richie Hawtin and Carl Cox show. He decides to dedicate his work to music only at age 23. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agoria (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
