Ssaliva

Sobre

François Boulanger is an audiovisual artist born in Liège, Belgium in 1983. He started producing music by the end of the 90’s/early 2000 and producing his visual work around 2010. In 2011, he started his experimental project « ssaliva ». After working for years as Cupp Cave on alternative hip-hop and dance beats, he developped hypnotic soundscapes based on sparse rythms, lush tones and crystallised textures. A personnal and romantic rendition of a life amidst nature and city pollution. His work as ssaliva also consists of documenting equally ethereal and removed places in pictures, two compulsive and lonely processes that have made him accumulate thousands of strange, escapist mental landscapes. Sometimes ghostly, sometimes sacred, an instantly recognizable form of melancholia.
