Dernière Volonté
Dernière Volonté (Last Will, in English) is the name under which French musician Geoffroy D writes his own music. Throughout an 'industrial' early period, Geoffroy tended to write a fusion of martial music and dark ambient. Choosing to focus on atmosphere, militaristic rhythms, and historical samples, he left little emphasis to be placed on vocals and melody. However, with the release of his 2003 effort, Les Blessures de l'Ombre, Geoffroy took a new direction, applying his martial style to verse-chorus song structures and pop melodies. In 2008, Geoffroy started a minimal wave side-project called Position Parallèle which has led to a more distinctly synthpop sound being carried over into his work as Dernière Volonté as well.
Geoffroy is featured as a guest artist on the Der Blutharsch albums, with Novy Svet and with the Antifa band Die Krups. The band still plays occasional live shows.
