About Me


I am a french thereminist.
I play classical themes, covers, hawaiian, exotica, hapa-haole songs, and my own music, as well as with bands who invites me, such as Mo, Radio Delevine, Nancy Landzo, Music For Grown ups...
I also play the Matryomin (russian doll theremin), and other instruments with Manu l'ours polaire, Santo y Blue Demon vs los monstruos in a more experimental way...
And I love to play my new favorite instrument, the french musical saw : la lame sonore.
I'm also an exotica, hawaiian and tahitian music from the 50's, 60's DJ.
I collect polynesian pop culture items such as tiki bar mugs, menus, paintings, books, records...and put them all in my home tiki bar (room)
I am also a snail farmer. I wear wooden glasses and have a big long beard.
My Hawaiian/Exotica/Theremin album. Recorded with the Haole Kats and The Lost Idols by Pablus and Darryl Kruppa in Tampa, Florida. Artwork by Dr Alderete :
