Driven by a deep curiosity and a love of collaboration, Frédéric Soulard has been exploring musical worlds for over twenty years as a musician and producer. His passion for travel and encounters has taken him from recording albums in Thailand (with his band Limousine), to South Africa (with Urban Village and Msaki x Tubatsi), to creating a tribute project to Ryuichi Sakamoto (Asynchrone) and to producing records ranging from the stripped-down folk of Piers Faccini to the explosive free jazz of Thomas de Pourquery, via the haunted synth-pop of Jeanne Added and the off-kilter electro-rock of Poni Hoax.
Founded in 1999, Cinematik Saloon began in Osaka before relocating to Kyoto in 2016. It has been at its current location since 2020.
Like a musician creating an album, the venue has undergone seven relocations and major renovations over the years. Each phase reflects the spirit of its time—a space where ideas and concepts are distilled.
Through being shared, meaning emerges; through remaining ambiguous, it continues to evolve.
