Biography

"To compose is to imagine and to build with sounds"

"Electronic engineer and self-taught musician, I compose with my home studio a primitive music, without melody nor rythmic, based on the basic pleasure of "sound immersion".

I'm influenced by contemporary music: without academicism, due to its original, and often revolutionary, approaches (electro-acoustic, spectral music, micro-tonality, repetitive, random), and also by electronic progressive music.

My favourite composers: Pierre Henry, Morton Feldmann, György Ligeti, Giacinto Scelsi, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, John Cage, Kaija Saariaho, Karlheinz Stockausen, and also Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd...

* Born in Paris in 1960

* Kid , there was in my home a very old piano: I was fascinated by this "sound object"

* I discover the electronic: it is a passion, I build several analog synthesizers and try to compose influenced by Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream... but material is very very expensive...

* Big curiosity for non conventional musics, perhaps to not do like my friends: I discover Pierre Henry, Philip Glass and american repetitive composers, La Monte Young (I remember this record I had: 45' with only one sinusoïdal frequency at 202.5 Hz !)"
