about NCE

The NCE project started taking shape in late 93, when Nico R and Bruno L decided to give substance to their musical desires: Axonal Warfare was born and sign on Celtic Circle. At the same time, another band had already reached its musical maturity in Strasbourg : Stigma (Daft-Records, Ant-Zen). The two bands toured together & a friendship ensued despite their sound difference. The band members come from different cultures, and their inspirations are quite diverse: electro-Indus for Laurent, cold-wave for Bruno L, electro-pop for Nico R.

They pursed their projects till 1997, when both bands split.

In 2003: Yoann B., met Nico R at a party and they started talking about a possible collaboration. Laurent, was contacted by the duet and he agreed to add his vocals on some tunes .The project developed and they called themselves AW4.Their first public appearance was at the concert in Colmar (France).



Bruno discovered at the concert this promising new electronic project and decided to join the crew . Neon Cage Experiment was born. The tracks are very diverse, disturbing, operatic, dance, rough, brilliant or dark. The kinematic atmospheres supported by samples and textures reflect the band's vision of the universe. NCE's music conveys strong, contrasting feelings elaborated powered by dynamic programming and punchy rhythms.



The first output of NCE was the demo "Specific Gravity". The electronic quartet made their first public appearance on 10/01/2004 in Ordalies Festival (Hall Molodoï Strasbourg). Motivated by positive crowd reactions, the band started working on their official debut Oscillations which was released a few months later on the french label Cortex records. Despite eing limited to 500 copies, the album got positive international reviews. NCE's live gigs at Tech-Noir (Stockholm- Sweden) , Heaven's Gate fest IV et V (Strasbourg - France), Noxious fest I (Vesoul - France) support -act for Trisomie 21, Geneva, Marseille, Karlsruhe etc... revealed their talent on stage.... The band is currently working hard on their sophomore release Material and Methods.
