I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

French - emigrated - citizen of the world - sound tech - lazy when bothered - passionate when i like it - trying to stay opened minded - fucked - apart - loud - intuitive - right brained!

My Interests

besides what I mention below: HR Giger, I can be touched by some modern art even if most of it is too weird for me, still remember a painting that was giving the same feeling that the artcover of the Fragile [NIN]. Abstract colours without any shape make the best canvas to me.

I'd like to meet:

All kind of people... But hey, doesnt mean you can spam me directly with friend request... The few people I really meant thanks to Tom were smart enough to have some message exchange before we became friends (ain't that a good definition of this word anyway?). So blind request are most likely to be denied...

Music:

LIVE music whether it's as a visitor or as crew. Live music will always have this little something that you'll never catch on a record!
I listen to mainly rock things but I can enjoy jazz or electro stuffs aswell...Just to mention a few names in various styles: the Gathering, NIN, Tool, Elliot Brood, Front Line Assembly, the White Birch, Sigur Ros, Ladytron, Soulwax, Sepultura, Dead Can Dance, Archive, Pink Floyd, Ulver...

Movies:

Depends on my mood... It can go to US brainless blockbusters [X-men] to what we call "author movie" in France [In The Mood for Love]... just a small list for a better idea: Magnolia, LOTR, Alien tetralogy [Giger hey ;)], Traffic, Madagascar, Next, Million Dollar Baby, Identities, Hard Candy, Lynch, Fincher...

Television:

Multiplying the channels just multiply the crap... most of the time ;) Totally hooked by 24 tho... this serie made TV revolution!

Books:

if I mention D. Brown, J.R.R. Tolkien, J.K. Rowling, R. Barjavel or B. Werber, you should have an idea ;) lately read some Hugo and now busy with Rushdie

Heroes:

Front Line Assembly - GUN

the Gathering - Shortest Day [live]

NIN - Beside you in Time

Sigur Rós - 'Heima' Film Trailer

Soulwax - e-Talking

Tool - Parabola

the White Birch - Seer Believer
