Artist History Biography: I one have been impassioned of synthesizers and electronic musics for more than 18 years now. With the money gained at the time of my first employment, in 1984, I acquire of a SH101, then with Korg Mono/poly, inorder to explore the analog synthese .In 1986, I am equipped with a DX7 and Fostex 4 tracks for therealization of first records.I build my first sequences MIDI on a Qx21 sequencer.Finally the discovery of the M.A.O. on atari with pro24, enables me to compose of more packed pieces. At the time, the multi-timber synthesizers ones do not exist and it is almost necessary to have a machine by channelMIDI to carry out orchestrations. From 87 to 93, I go to continue to equip my Home-studio, sacrificing all my economies for a D50, S10, Tx81Z, EPS, SY77,WS a/d, a BX16 for the mixing, some complementary effects (Midiverb, SE50), but not having a budget for multitrack, Irecord all my titles directly on a simple turntable K7. In 1988, I take part in the show of data processing organized in my area, during which I will be able to be made hear withDemonstrations of M.A.O. The same year, I occur with other regional artists, with the Showhome of "Charleville-Mézières"(french city), at the time of one evening ofhanding-over of price organized by the IFTS (technical university ).The following years,occasionally, I play of the keyboard in formations Hard rock of the department. After one idle period musical, I started again into 97, to create M.A.O on PC, with the tools used today (synthesizer,card-sound, software, samples, etc.). I thus realized, myself, 3 audio CD comprising each one 10 to 14 songs (instrumental).My influences: I am obviously attracted by the synthesizer musicians using more or less, samplers, on their album. I can quote some one of them very knows." Vangelis, Mike Oldfield, Jean-Michel Jarre, TangerineDream." and others which are it less (see at all!) Art Of Noise, Judie Tzuke, Loreena McKennitt, Andreas Vollenweider or Philippe Saisse. ", but their music really does not influence me, mycompositions being simpler while remaining personal.
