About Me



Frédéric D. Oberland (born in 1978 in Paris, France) writes some music, for himself and for others. His work combinates electroacoustic researches and sensitive improvisations to propose originally and imaginary soundscapes playing with time, memory and elements. As a member of the french experimental cinema workshop "L'Etna" (http://www.etna-cinema.net/), he has composed some original sountracks for experimental and documentary film/videomakers like Augustin Gimel, Hugo Verlinde, François-Xavier Drouet, Mikael Rabetrano, Othello Vilgard or Delphine Lest.
He plays with several bands like "21 Love Hotel" (a fabulous new folk & sexy atmospheric quintet with Clémence Léauté), "Medecine Music" (crazy free and improvised band with NicolaStone), "Arschgeil/Brahman" (harsh noise team with RomSes, Stromvarx and Penthotal) & "Lem Preo" (the experimental solar orchestra from the LEEP label).
