Everything begins with two tapes when I was 14, coming back from London for hollydays: The Cure's Kiss Me album and Prince's Sign O' The Times. I listened these albums 'till intoxication. It determined my future as a maniac music lover: in one side, new wave/punk/electro, in the other side funk/rock. So I've collected more then 400 tapes of what I could buy or duplicate. All styles, no rules, everything I liked (it's the same today). Then comes a cd collection, but quickly replaced in my heart by vinyls.Naturally, at 25 yeras old, I've opened my own record store in my town: Egotrip Records Store. I saled techno, harcore, breakbeat, hip hop and reggae music and stuffs for dj's. These years was great in many ways 'cause we formed with friends and dj's several sound systems to play in Teknivals and rave parties, mostly in France, in the footprints of The Spiral Tribe. We played acid/acidcore/hardcore. Free to play, play to be free...In 2000, with one of my best friends, we formed Kinosound, a project of live scoring for muted films in associtions with theaters and festivals (Gothe Institut, Cinematheque française..). We scrore great movies like Metroplois or Nosferatu of course, but not also. We proceed by using turntables, vinyl sounds and home made sounds to recreate an atmosphere, a contemporary one. We are still in activity.I 'm composing since 2003 for Kinosound and my pleasure . Today I have more than 4000 vinyls, I'm composing with an MPC 1000, my turntables and an Imac. So here I am....
