About Me

I am a crazy French Horn player from France who once had this weird idea of playing some progressive metal stuff on the horn. First attempt was a section from Dream Theater's Dance of Eternity. I recorded a little section from it, track by track, playing over myself each time. Finally all the tracks mixed together would give the impression of a horn ensemble. I found the whole thing sounded great and unusual so I extended the section a little more and then thought it could be cool to tie it to another song from another DT album. A few months later I had this giant medley ! For some reason I then put it on the shelf for almost a year..and did a few other tributes, easier ones :p, a tribute to the awesome Neal Morse, another one to John Williams, and an arrangement of Symphony X's Odyssey. I finally finished the DT one a few weeks ago... it wasn't easy !! Some technical parts were almost unplayable and literally took me thousands of takes to get everything right ;-x. ..
