1978 revelation ! I
discovered the universe of J. M. Jarre with the “Equinoxe” album... at
7 I simply decided I also
wanted to be “a Jean Michel Jarre" ! then the love of Electronic
music will never leave me any more...
I grown rocked by the
Eighties, listening a lot of English New Wave I fall under the charm of
synthetic melodies from Depeche Mode, level 42, Kim Wilde, Yazoo and so
much that this page will run out of words…
Always obsessed by the same, I
WANT a SYNTHESIZER!!!!! First musical agitations, my parents offers to me
a small arranger, Yamaha PSS360!! Tremendous
Happiness of the little keyboard keys ! lol ! the FM sounds and integrated
rhythmic which made "tooc! Tss! tooc! " I done my first
reproductions and first compos! a small section of the PSS was albe to
make evolve/move real time wave shaping ! Rotted ! but a true happiness at
the time !
At the end of 88, a new style
unloads on the French radios ! I
discovered House with MARSS and S EXPRESS ... I directly turned myself to
New Beat and Acid music, thank to Belgium !
90, I bought my first true
synth !!! a splendid Roland D-20 now throned in the center of my mess !!
I continue to compose and I discover the M.C.A... with the Amiga
500... a computer abled to make music by himself whereas Pc's
made yet only “beeps” ... I make the purchase of it and
discovers the modules and my first Digitalizer (the Amiga’s sampler !).
Serious things can started ! I compose initially on Oktalyzer, then
Protracker! in parallel, I continue to compose on my synth...
91, the key, I discovered the
European Amiga scene, Demos, musicians... after a short Hardcore period,
the English prods rock my universe, KLF, Orbital, Prodigy... then I
discovered TRANCE and its sweet melodies, Cygnus X, Brainchild, Odysee of
Noise... It is now very clear, it is this style that I like much and that
I want to compose !!!! I changed my Amiga 500 for the higher range, the
1200! At the end of 91, I officiate on the French and European Amiga scene
under the Nickname of Mindfuck of Mentasm, I met some famous musicians who
now compose on their own......
I exchange my old D-20 for a
brand new X3 korg !!! and composing, and composing and composing!!! The
years are shelled and the amiga scene at the end of 96 is not any more
what it was, the PC becomes the favorite machine... I stop my activities
after some tries to PC modules on Fasttracker
2... Goa is my favorite style at the time... Astral Projection, Transwave,
Total Eclipse and all the Bonzaï label played in loop on my hi-fi
componments... I stop my studies and the music becomes my trade, I sing
and play keyboard in a pop orchestra... With new job, new synth, Roland
XP80 ... I preserve a great attachment at my Amiga 1200, from time to
time, I still compose modules for my pleasure...
2000, the millenium, I offered
myself a groove box MC 303 wich was quickly replaced by the 505 and one 16
tracks recording home studio, a Roland VS1680
2001... i Meet the man which
will become my musical partner in my every day life , Karybde! I
rediscovered PC under a different angle, with Ejay, initially... amusing
but too limited!!! Then
Fruityloops arrives! Brilliant, but when someone comes from Amiga and the
"MOD" there is no evidence
to trying this kind of software... I discovered another aspect of
Trance, productions which I did not know and which Karybde take pleasure
to make me listen per packages of 50!!! The answer is invariably the same
one! "that keep silent!!!! I WANT IT!!!!!! " After some average
tests under fruity, and the discovery of the universe of the VST plugins ,
I carry out my first truth compo... "Over Pleasure", Overboosted
by this creation, Karybde produced a remix a few days after.... The tandem
had been born.... 200x? we compose together ! Even if each of us keeps its musical identity , the duet functions well ! I bring the harmonics and lightness, karybde brings the clubbing touch... Now, I do not improve any more his songs! I add some topics but I don’t make any more harmonics corrections... his style completely opened out! Now we’re really having great fun !!! |
