Inspired and influenced by musicians like Jean Michelle Jarre, Air, Sigur Ros, Kraftwerk and Ennio
Morricone, Cj (or Composer Jockey) Lavoire is the last project by Italian Valerio Franchi.

As a child, Valerio had a classical education at the Saint Cecilia Conservatory, studying clarinet and
obtaining a solfège degree and then developed a strong interest for choral music (Josquin Desprez) under
the guide of maestro Claudio Dall'Albero.

During his studies at the conservatory, Valerio started for fun to compose popular music with surreal-
grotesque lyrics à la Frank Zappa and Elio e le storie tese, winning a competition launched by a show on
Italian Radio2.

Then, hypnotized by Jarre's Oxygene IV Penguins, he went deep into electronic music experimenting a
peculiar kind of music and playing around the colour of sounds and its shade.

Incredibly prolific and making music under many different aliases, his production seem to shift each
album, from very minimal tonal processing to ambient soundtrack and more loop-based instrumental
stuff.

He has also written original works for theatre and several short films. He is currently preparing his live
set and planning to tour again Italy on spring.

The song ‘First of The Year’ is featured on his self-released album, Jump, from 2007.
