"Discreet saxophonist or virtuoso, composer and director with personal sound, musicologist and electronic luthier.

Sixteen years of studying saxophones with Philippe Di Betta gave him a taste for music beyond aesthetics, and his interest in the analysis materialized at the University of Poitiers by obtaining the Meshuggah mastery, an atypical metal formation.

In addition to the institutional framework, he is involved in projects of contemporary music, Mandingo, dance, Marc Ducret's Sense de la Marche, Anthurus d'Archer and the metal collective Klonosphère.

In 2008, he will join Louis Sclavis ' quintet and shortly thereafter Daniel Yvinec' s National Jazz Orchestra. Other collaborations will be born, notably with François Sarhan, the whole Ictus, Amarillis, the company of the Musiques à Ouïr. He performs solo, duo in Rhizottome, in his power-trio Killing Spree, with Kino-Sounds, XXO, Coronado...

Attracted just as much by the poetic and social aspect of the music as the technical means to give him life, it is in self-taught that he was trained in the electronic lutherie, the acoustics, the recording, realizing in particular the five albums of Archer's Anthurus, those of Rhizottome, his productions as a leader or the six discs Tower of Marc Ducret."

Gregoire Galichet is a French drummer known for the band Killing Spree with bassist Sylvain Daniel and saxophonist Matthieu Metzger
