Thierry Maillard is an avant-garde artist with a boundless modernity and an immense musical curiosity. His compositions are very well thought out and have a very "signed" style, born of his love for music in general.The "moog project" is a tribute that Thierry Maillard wanted to pay to the 1970's period with artists who used analogical music at the forefront, with bands like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Joe Zawinul, Georges Duke...As well as bands like Supertramp, so much these artists of genius, with their extraordinary creativity, could be inspiring for him.This project is an important point of his writing work for more than 30 years, with a unique trio as 2 pianists and 1 drummer: 1 acoustic piano, 1 fender Rhodes and 1 Wurlitzer and analog keyboards carried by the rhythmic power of Yoann Schmidt on drums. After 35 years of career as a pianist, composer and orchestrator, Thierry Maillard has built his work around a major axis which is dear to him and intrinsic to his training as a musician: the mixture of jazz and classical music.His influences are diverse and varied, the lyricism and romanticism of classical music of course, the rhythmic strength of jazz rock, the audacity of contemporary music, the elegance and swing of the golden age of jazz.

Artiste avant-gardiste, modernité sans limite et immense curiosité musicale, Thierry Maillard évolue, avec des compositions fouillées au style très "signé", nées de son amour pour la Musique en général.Le projet « moog project» est un hommage que Thierry Maillard a voulu rendre à la période 1970 avec des artistes qui utilisaient à cette époque l’analogique au premier plan, avec des groupes comme Mahavishnu Orchestra, Joe Zawinul, Georges Duke…Ainsi que des groupes comme Supertramp, tant ces artistes de génie, à la créativité hors normes, a pu être inspirant pour lui.Ce projet est un point important de son travail d’écriture depuis plus de 30 ans, avec un trio unique car 2 pianistes et 1 batteur : 1 piano acoustique, 1 fender Rhodes et 1 Wurlitzer et des claviers analogique portés par la puissance rythmique d'un Yoann Schmidt a la batterie. Après 35 ans de carrière en tant que pianiste, compositeur et orchestrateur, Thierry Maillard a construit son travail autour d’un axe majeur qui lui est cher et intrinsèque à sa formation de musicien : le mélange du jazz et de la musique classique.Ses influences sont diverses et variées, le lyrisme et le romantisme de la musique classique bien sûr, la force rythmique du jazz rock, les audaces de la musique contemporaine, l’élégance et le swing de l’âge d’or du jazz. Une passion évidente pour l’univers des instruments analogiques des années 70 mélangée à l’acoustique du piano et de la batterie.
