Dallio initially attracted attention, in July 1979, when she and her then-boyfriend, guitarist Alain Eckert unsuccessfully auditioned for British band, National Health. Although she impressed the group with her imaginative playing, her commitment to the acoustic piano conflicted with the band's desire to play electric music.
Accepting an invitation to join Art Zoyd, Dallio made the transition to electric piano and joined gerard Hourbette (viola, violin, keyboards, samplers), Thierry Zaboytzeff (cello, bass guitar, keyboards, percussion, samplers, vocals), Jean-Pierre Soarez (trumpet, percussion), Didier Pietton (soprano saxophone, flute), Andre Mergenthaler (cello, alto saxophone, vocals), Daniel Denis (percussion, keyboards, samplers) and Thierry Willems (keyboards) to create an innovative synthesis of rock, free jazz and contemporary classical music. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi
