The idea of the label InFiné came true in February 2005 when Alexandre Cazac attended a concert by Francesco Tristano at Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord in Paris. The pianist covered "Strings of Life", a founding track of Detroit techno music, produced by Derrick May.[1]
The label was formally begun in January 2006 when Sebastien Devaud and YMatray joined Alexandre Cazac. Their first release was "Strings of Life" interpreted by Francesco Tristano, with remixes from the German producers Apparat and Kiki.[2]
In 2007, Julien Gagnebien went into partnership with InFiné and opened an office in Berlin in an effort to make the label an international concern.[3] In the same year, Sebastien Devaud (a.k.a.Agoria) left the label to focus on his DJ career.[4]
In October 2008, InFiné organized at la Cité de la Musique in Paris one of the first meeting between a classical ensemble and artists from the electronic music scene, called Versus. The project brought together producer Carl Craig, Moritz Von Oswald and the philharmonic orchestra Les Siècles directed by François-Xavier Roth for a pgram with compositions from Steve Reich, Bruno Mantovani and pieces by Carl Craig arranged and interpreted by the pianist Francesco Tristano.[5]
In 2011, InFiné is the first label was invited to Gaîté Lyrique in Paris and put concerts, parties and a multimedia event for a week.[6] Later, in 2015, Francesco Tristano and Bruce Brubaker performed a 2-piano show at Gaîté Lyrique that was broadcast live on Arte.[7]
InFiné regularly cooperates with IRCAM. Aaffiliated artists are implicated in the research in the field of sound design.[8] It was even the first label to produce a musical session in virtual reality via Oculus Rift.[9] In early November 2014, the label announced the release of a new Rone album, Creatures, to be released on February 9, 2015 on Infiné.[10]
In 2015, Alexandre Cazac was involved in the Stems' panel for Native Instruments at Sonar Festival in Barcelona as long as Carl Craig, Luciano and Kerri Chandler, who debated about the new audio format created by Native Instruments, and the way it can redefine DJ practice and live music performance.[11]
THe annual Workshop InFiné at la Carrière du Normandoux takes near Poitiers in France. Since 2009, based around music and art projects. This is how collaborations between Vanessa Wagner and Murcof, Charlemagne Palestine and Mondkopf, or Bernard Szajner, Yro Yto and Almeeva took place.[12][13]
