I don't need a TV: I got a moog

About Me

I'm seven. I'm watching our black and white TV set. There's no remote, no surround-digital-whatever shit or anything. But there's no need for any of this since I'm watching Space 1999, and the episode's called 'the troubled spirit'. I'm enchanted by the psychedelic guitar opening. I'm scared by the episode itself, scared to death by the strange and as pessimistic and metaphysical as usual story. That next night, I dream of monsters -with a soundtrack that sounds like Mahavishnu Orchestra remixed by Merzbow. Moon is an adult tribute to the soundtracks of my childhood nightmares, a long time ago.
Please note before sending a friend request: requests not coming with a message are always denied. And I'm always in the process of deleting fake friends. Strangely, I'm a friendly person in real life, it's just I'm here to share, not to advertise which I know some of you out there have trouble understanding. Before posting a comment: all 'thanks for the add' will be deleted. If all humans who've got nothing to say kept silent, our planet would be a better place for us all.
Un peu de français tout de même : si le profil et presque tout ce qui touche à Moon est en anglais, c'est simplement parce que la culture à laquelle fait référence le projet est par essence anglo-saxonne. Et aussi que le seul label francophone qui nous a fait confiance est Canadien.
Veuillez noter que les "friend requests" qui ne sont pas accompagnées d'un message sont systématiquement refusées et que j'efface régulièrement des brassées "d'amis". Pourtant, j'ai l'impression d'être plutôt chaleureux dans la vraie vie -c'est juste que je trouve que myspace devrait servir à échanger, pas à faire de la pub. Et si vous voulez poster un commentaire, c'est volontiers, sachez juste que tous les "merci pour l'ajout" et assimilés sont effacés et qu'en général l'auteur est bloqué.

Roland MC-505, to make music in bed and on holidays
Circuit-bent toys and beatboxes (yes, I make them myself)
I wish I had a Fender Rhodes, an EMS synthi, a MiniMoog, an EDP Wasp, an ARP odyssey and Solina, and probably a pair of Crumars as well but I'm forced to use software emulators (only because of lack of space and money)
Influences: mostly not music but the sounds of nature. Windmill chants, lava rivers, magnetic storms, static from space. Their names sing their own songs, too.

mostly not music but the sci-fi movies of the 50s-70s. They came from outer space, The forbidden planet, Solaris, The day the world ended, The day the Earth stood still, The time machine. To name but a few.

mostly not music but the sounds of analogues when they're left alone and speak to each other. MS-20. Theremin. EDPs. EMS. ARP. Alicia. Synthex. You name it.

mostly not music but The Thunderbirds, Space Patrol, The Time Tunnel, Space 1999 and the voices of Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.

a little music, too. Flying Saucer Attack. Loop. The Telescopes. Sunn O))). My Bloody Valentine. Hawkwind. Merzbow. Neurosis. Labradford and Panamerican. Accelera deck and Ultra Milkmaids. Earth. Mogwai. Klaus Schultze. Harshnoise. Ambient. Krautrock. Space Folk. And you can add your own name here.
Sounds Like: the music Lt. Ripley listened to when in hypersleep.
