About Me

Greetings. I am a professional musician from France, guitarist for 17 years, composer and producer. Besides my projects in one-man-band, I enjoy to collaborate with different kind of bands or personalities ( like Rozz Williams for example which was a very deep experience ), heavy metal, black, industrial music, medieval and classical, etc. I don't see myself belonging to a "musical clan". All should be led thanks to the mood, not the fashion.

I have started like 8 to 10 hours a day, and then had some guitar lessons with Guy Georges Gremy, an amzing guitar player who had worked with the band "Little Bob Story". He taught me to be one with my instrument and many studies through notes and Yoga.

When you make a recording,you face yourself, the different sides... Fear Not ! Each creator is the knight of his own tale, win against your dragon or drop the sword my friend...

Here you can visit my lair : WWW.CHRISMENTA.COM .

Hmm...Can you hear the barking wolves with Razor Jaws ? Join and don't fear the Black Dog, enter the Lucy Fairy's Club ! For more information and details about the project and several other productions, I invite you to visit my MySpace music's page : RAZORDOG

"One day, I felt the need to define my feelings, with vibes and sounds, with old dreams and smell. Caught in two times, medieval and cyber, here comes a generation wanting to dream and create more and more strong buildings of power and passions. Howling like wolves at night, walking on this edge of contrast, thin as a razorblade, This is the RazorDog".

my other passions :

- litterature about philosophy ,not this soup full of morality which questions only to question. I appreciate the philosophy when it grabs something clear, mighty and real, which invite to visualize other horizons.This is one of my deepest interests.

- The "occult" : Magic is my second mother. its understanding leads to the equilibrium of life, dealing with this electricity. I couldn't say how many books I have about it, as my library is huge. My goal is to go further year after year, and learn again this amazing maze, this one that Christianity has tried to blur for so many centuries, "raping" the earth's wisdom... Here, I give my eternal salutations to this great man called Anton Szandor LaVey. When this man was speaking about the dark side of nature, he was aware that the man was dealing with this natural force, this unknown, so called "evil", which will be explained by science someday.

- SEX and all its subtleties : no, it's not so mundane... Sex is art, not like two pieces of wood you rub in order to feel the heat. It should give you strength instead of "consuming you"... Remember Ulysse, asking to his men to tie him up to the mast..This way he could feel this delightful pleasure of the siren singing, but couldn't join them and be devoured.Symbolically,this means a lot. Kundalini could be spoken here too. The controled pleasure going until the plexus.

- Sweet good wines and subtle food . This is one of the golden Sins. I love to cook.

- the principle of alchemy : Solve/Coagula is one of my favourite principles, it is a great key in life; the celtic culture ( but please, do not speak to me about WICCA who has NO ROOT with it ), and I am glad to live in France as I can always go further in this study. Then, I have a big interest in medieval castles and the history around it. If you ever come in my country, I suggest you to visit Carcassonne, the medieval city. A must !

- deep study about runes : This is a shame to see that today these symbols have been "diabolized", while it could "talk" to the student about many things.

- DOGS : I have 2 Alpha Nordic Dobermanns:Doom and Jaws.

So, is there a little bit of magic in your life ? ...Welcome.
