About Me

Hi there.
I'm a Tokyo-based French musician (composer, improviser, guitarist, multi-instrumentist, sound engineer, producer...).
In 2007, I self-released my solo debut, "we found a diamond in my head", a collection of mad pieces I made during my stay in Amsterdam.
Terauchi Daisuke (voice, mouth harp, kazoo), Kondo Kuta (synth percussion, bass), Miyake Tamaho (voice, gamelan percussion, melodica), Miyachi Sachi (voice) and Joey Lanzo (bass) are guesting.
Also did some eccentric free improvisation live shows with Terauchi Daisuke, Kuta Kondo and Miyake Tamaho as picture my ear .
We have a live record from shows we did in the Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam in early 2007.
You can hear a full unedited radio show we did for Radio Rietveld here .
I play electric guitar, synth and other musical goods for eje.
I'm playing in a sweet folk band with Lexa called les Figurants .
Also working on a bedroom pop album with Yutaka as...well, simply Yann and Yutaka .
In 2006 I released an album with afropop band Nutifafa which consists mainly of neoclassical and folk guitar work, and West-African voice.
Recently I started recording some lyrics-orientated French songs (something called "chanson"...) as a solo project called l'Observatoire .
