Laurent Brancowitz

In this shot, Laurent can be seen jamming out on his standard stage guitar, A Fender Bullet. He can be seen in multiple performances with this guitar.

"Phoenix is a Grammy Award winning French alternative rock band from Versailles, founded by Thomas Mars, Deck d'Arcy, Christian Mazzalai and Laurent Brancowitz. For Laurent, aka Branco, I made this handmade Fuseblower with only French made components he uses along with the OVERTUBE overdrive for their great music." - excerpt from Jacques' website.

At 2:04, Laurent is using the Yamaha PSS-380 on Thomas Mars voice in "Don't"

At 0:59, Laurent uses the Yamaha PSS-680 during the Deezer Session.

In the interview, Music Radar asks "What about amps?" To which Laurent Brancowitz replies "We use Fender Twins. In the studio, we have a Vox amplifier."

At 2:10, the Yamaha CS-80 is being used in "Don't", just above the MemoryMoog Synthesizer.

You can clearly see him playing this Squier guitar, which I'd guess it's a bullet model. Awesome version btw.

All thorughout this video, Branco is using a mini Pink Squier Stratocaster while playing Ti Amo.

Used while making Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, as stated by bandmate Thomas Mars in this April 29, 2009 Earfarm "Band of the Week" feature.

Still, inspiration wasn’t limited only to analog synths and longtime collaborators; Mars and company also employed the card game Oblique Strategies early and often throughout the Amadeus sessions.

Oblique Strategies were created in 1975 by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt (a German artist), a set of over 100 cards each containing a cryptic phrase (of which there are over 100) meant to solve a small dilemma or break a creative stalemate. Examples include “State the problem in words as clearly as possible” and “What to increase? What to reduce?” Eno actually used these cards regularly during his early recording sessions with the Talking Heads, and it’s probably not coincidental that more than a few of David Byrne’s lyrics could pass as Oblique Strategies themselves. Mars wasn’t simply content to go by Eno’s version of the game, however, and in characteristically playful fashion eventually created his own set of cards as the sessions for Amadeus progressed.

“I’m a lazy guy and I always wanted the card that says ‘take a break’,” Mars laughed. “So I was always like, ‘come on, give me that one!’ I was so tired all the time and it never showed up. So, we started our own cards as a joke and it worked in a way, it made us more responsible, sometimes it’s hard to focus and it helped.”

In this photo, Brancowitz is visible with tobaccoburst Gibson J-200 acoustic-electric.

The ARP Solina String Ensemble can be seen at 0:54 in this video. The video takes place during the recordings and development of the album Bankrupt! but more specifically, the song Chloroform. It is a very modern video but the instrument itself is very much older than the band itself. The current settings used for Chloroform are Viola and Modulation both on. Supposedly the tuning is in the default setting. Crescendo is at a low setting. Sustain length is at the maximum setting. Master Volume is at the maximum setting. It's unclear what Volume Bass is at but it looks to be at the highest setting, it may be at lower setting though.

At 3:11, Laurent is playing the Casio SK-5 with another keyboard. He remarks how he played both Keyboards at the same time as a joke and it inspired him to write something similar in Lisztomania.

Here in an intimate session, Branco can be seen holding a Redondo, which might be the same one his brother used in their Tiny Desk concert.

In this interview Phoenix explains they used Ableton to create their latest album, Ti Amo

In this iconic Letterman performance of 1901, Braco is playing a 1981 Fender Bullet 2S in Olympic White.

On the list, we can see a photo of Laurent Brancowitz legend : "Phoenix On V Collection 9"
