THE NEURONIUM HISTORY 1977-2008 :
31 years of
ELECTRONIC MUSIC by MICHEL HUYGEN
MICHEL HUYGEN, synthesist, creates NEURONlUM in
1976. He records in 1977 for the English label EMI- HARVEST ,
the first album of NEURONIUM entitled
QUASAR 2C361, also being the first disc of cosmic music never recorded in Spain .
In 1978, NEURONIUM records their second album
VUELO QUIMlCO, also for HARVEST , with the extraordinary participation of NlCO,
then ex singer of the LOU REED´s band , THE
VELVET UNDERGROUND. Several important concerts:
Plaza de Toros de Benidorm, Teatro Martín de
Madrid, Palacio de los Deportes de Bilbao (with a great success, by the way)
, and in the football stadium of Barakaldo
in front of 11,000 people. The 7 of May 1978,
NEURONIUM participates in the Festival of Science Fiction of Metz (France), representing Spain.
In 1980, NEURONIUM leaves HARVEST
and decides to record with Auvi .
DIGITAL DREAM is the first album of NEURONIUM in its new company ,
as a duo of keyboard players,
with the contribution of a new guitarist called SANTI
PICÓ.
In February of 1981, NEURONIUM records its new album THE VlSlTOR,
a new step forward and simultaneously different in the style of the band .
In March of 1981, the group travels for the first time to London, invited by VANGELlS,
in order to perform together music composed by Michel Huygen, for a show of television, filmed by Spanish Television for its program MUSICAL EXPRESS. The result is really amazing and the symbiosis is total between both styles and sounds.
In May of 1981, album THE VISITOR is sold-out in one month after its official release.
After the release of CHROMIUM ECHOES, fifth album of NEURONIUM ,
Carlos Guirao leaves the group and therefore NEURONIUM follows , commanded exclusively by Michel Huygen, its creator.
Michel releases simultaneously the fifth album of NEURONIUM and his first solo album
titled ABSENCE OF REALlTY, a very relaxing and intimate disc.
We are in 1982.
In 1983, Michel Huygen records the sixth album of NEURONIUM , INVISIBLE VlEWS,
with Santi Picó on guitar.
At the end of 1983 and beginning of 1984 , Michel Huygen records his second solo album titled CAPTURING HOLOGRAMS. Michel signs for the British label ZOMBA, that decides to release a new dedicated label of electronic music : its name is JIVE ELECTRO.
In September of 1984, NEURONIUM gives his first great concert in England, like head of poster of the prestigious British festival of electronic music UK ELECTRONICA 84. The concert achieves an enormous success with three encore, and the room of OCTAGON CENTER of Sheffield …standstill .
It is the big way-in of Neuronium in England.
Probably due to his intuition, Michel decides to release onthe market an album with the sound track of the film OLYMPICALLY DIED, of which Michel , is author ,
under the generic title of BARCELONA 1992.
The definitive mixing of this album takes place in January of 1986, and the release is in March of the same year ,6 months before the election of Barcelona as city for the Olympic Games of Summer of 1992.
In May of 1986, Michel is the person in charge of the department of electronic music of the Center of Art Queen Sofía of Madrid, inaugurated by Her Majesty the Queen that same month.
In September of 1986, Michel Huygen and Santi Picó play two concerts at the Planetarium of London next to the museum of Madame Tussaud. The music of BARCELONA 1992 is featured during this concert, with a laser beams spectacle by Laserium.
In November of 1986, NEURONIUM gives an important concert in the S.I.M.O, fair of computer science of Madrid, offering the new spectacle of Tomás https://www.tradebit.comsanz, as closing act of this international contest.
In February of 1987, a special album of NEURONIUM is released , to celebrate the tenth anniversary on disc of the electronic music of Michel Huygen , its title is ALMA (soul in english) , and contains new mixes of well-known tracks by NEURONIUM, plus an unreleased track until then, but well by the audinece of TV´s, since it is the signature tune of the prime time program of the TVE called LA TARDE.
Between January and June of 1987, Michel records and releases the 9th album of NEURONIUM titled SUPRANATURAL playing himself absolutely all the instruments.
The album is released in October of 1987,
with a series of 12 concerts in the Planetarium of Madrid, concerts completely “sold-out”.
These concerts in Madrid constitute probably the most wonderful carried out sonic and visual experience by Michel Huygen and Tomás https://www.tradebit.comsanz, since the projections of paintings of https://www.tradebit.comsanz take place on the vault of the Planetarium using 48 slide projectors drived by computer.
During these concerts of the Planetarium of Madrid, the music is digitally live recorded: an album is released worldwide with the title of FROM MADRID TO HEAVEN (Neuronium in concert).
In September of 1988, Michel returns as the headline act of the British festival of electronic music UK ELECTRONICA 88. The concert takes place in the church of https://www.tradebit.comn''s Hall, in Westminster, the 3 of September of 1988. This concert includes an ex member of TANGERINE DREAM, and also friend of Michel , STEVE JOLIFFE. The result of the fusion between the special music of Neuronium and the masters to the Oboe, clarinet and flute of Steve Joliffe, with laser rays illuminating the vault of the church , completely fills the concert place with a very special atmosphere.
In 1988, new series of documentary are being filmed on old disappeared civilizations, in Peru and Mexico. Michel composes the complete sound track of the 26 chapters of 30 minutes each one. He releases in 1990, a compact disc of 77 minutes with the most important trackas of the series. The title of the album is OLlM, long ago in Latin.

Between October of 1989 and April of 1990, Michel composes , records and mixes his new single album INTlMO, the deepest, innermost and revealing of all. It is the special and emotional complement of NUMERlCA. In that period,
Michel receives the order for the soundtrack of a new TV series by FERNANDO JIMÉNEZ DEL OSO, y JUAN JOSÉ BENITEZ entitled EN BUSCA DEL MISTERIO.
The 7 of April of 1990, Michel Huygen gives a great concert as closing act of the first festival of San Sebastián of New Musics, in the wonderful place of the Abbey of San Telmo, in the city .

In this very special album, composers like Klaus Schulze, Steve Roach, Michael Stearns are present and Michel Huygen composes for this unique occasion, EL GRAN MASTURBADOR . This track by Michel is only available on this compact disc.
At the end of August of 1990, Michel begins the composition and recording of the new album of Neuronium entitled SYBARIS, with a totally new concept within the Neuronium sound, but also at level of the cover of the album: the most spectacular and expensive never done for a disc of Neuronium; it is released at the end of 1991.
One month later , the soundtrack of the series of television EN BUSCA DEL MlSTERlO is released, as a solo album by Michel.
In February of 1992, and for to celebrate the 15 years of record career of Neuronium in the international electronic music field , EXTRlSlMO is released. But this point is not a final one !
.
In 1993 a new album of Neuronium, double, with a very special content , is released .
The title is ONIRIA suggestive by itself... It is the 20th album composed by Michel.
In 1994, a new compact by Michel Huygen appears: INFlNlTO, dedicated to the sudden death of three of his best friends during 1993.

pleasant musical atmosphere during any meal , : the title is MUSICA PARA LA BUENA
MESA (Music for gourmets), only released in Spain...!

An essential one for Michel, according to its words.
Few months later , in 1999, ULTRACOSMOS is released , an album of purely cosmic music and with a duration of 70 minutes non stop, is to say an album to let furthermost fly the imagination until confines of the space
