Lives actually in FUCKING PARIS KINGDOM OF HYPE
..grew up surrounded by Buddhist monks, Gnawas musicians and oriental sacred texts that gave him the sense of ritual and trance in music.
..developed since 1993 a transversal sonic poetry praxis focused on experimental voice processings and immersive concerts-installations. The noise and video events are devised and set in context as panic-poetic spaces in which social/sensorial disturbance and blurring occur, through some extreme crescendos going from silence to wall of sound.
Focused on the LINKS between
ART : SCIENCE : VOICE : SOUND : TRANCE : EROS : SPIRIT
..worked in major European electronic arts centers (CICV, Fresnoy, V2_Lab, KHM) and has presented live performances and installations around the world including places and festivals such as DEAF in Rotterdam, ISEA, ICA in London, Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, Sónar in Barcelona, Africa Center in South Africa and Rio de Janeiro, etc.
..editor of ERRATUM since 1997, a CD+net label devoted to ART/NOISE/POETRY, and he punctually organises experimental poetic events and exhibitions. He has collaborated with such artists as David Larcher, Charlemagne Palestine, Faustin Linyekula, Serge Pey, Henri Chopin, Joel Hubaut, Jörg Piringer, Franck Ancel.

(YES PRINCE) ...

The voice is not only indicative of man's character, but it is the expression of his spirit. The voice is not only audible, but also visible to those who can see it. The voice makes impressions on the ethereal sphere, impressions which can be called audible; at the same time they are visible. Those scientists who have made experiments with sound and who have taken impressions of the sound on certain plates - which impressions appear like forms - will find one day that the impression of the voice is more living, more deep, and has a greater effect. Sound can be louder than the voice, but sound cannot be more living than the voice.
