electronica saved my life

About Me


oh well you know, i was born in a little town in the countryside and.. oh nevermind. hello, i studied musicology and i love electronic music.
i must admit i don't have a lot to say about myself. in fact, i have, everyone has, but i think i could be boring or unpleasant... well that's me.
I indeed come from a little village in belgium. For 5 years now, i spend most of my time in brussels where i studied musicology at university. Now university is finished for me, i successfully graduated in july 2007!
Now it's time to work... boohoo... it's a good feeling knowing that you earn your own money, not depending on anyone else... but i don't know.. it takes a lot of time and brain cells... i kinda miss the time when i could just drink coffie while looking through the window (with the "mmmmh -_-" contemplative face). For sure, i feel better now i don't really have time to think. but i also feel empty. Maybe i just need some time to organize everything...
you might think i am not very optimistic. i don't know. i'm pretty optimistic with the new selftanning body lotion i bought.
ah. but you probably prefer me to talk about music! Well, since the age of 10, i learned music theory. then i learned to play the piano, the guitar, and then went to university because i loved music history and analysis. i love electronica/ambient music, my favourite record labels, if i should make a choice, are expanding, type, miasmah and cactus islands.
my first mini album/maxi ep "mononucleosis ep" is out on Heldernacht since the 31th march! it contains my first 7 tracks i've ever made of my life. in fact, it's really nice. i am sure i don't see how nice it is. i made them from may to october 2006, while having mononucleosis. the songs are very sleepy :o)
due to personal reasons, the wonderful heldernacht label is forced to end... it's a bit sad, but sometimes life can be indeed sad. The cd is sold out.. but! i can now tell you that a re-release is planned on VU-US...
i keep you up to date for the following activities!
Sometimes some fools book me to make a liveset. but for the moment, it seems they all go responsible :o) no shows announced.
Argh! I have so many live sets planned right now! i definitely have to work on a decent live set now hehe.
:o)
did i forget something?
