    Artist description
    When "computer-based music" is mentionned, what usually comes to mind is either techno/dance or related styles, or ambient/new-age and related stuff... ...but guitar-based rock?!? Yet, this is what has been accomplished here, listen for yourself! Still, this style apparently not appealing to the masses, a turn towards the more traditionnal styles for this type of music seemed to be inevitable...
    Music Style
    Formerly instrumental rock and humor, recently re-oriented to new-age style music.
    Musical Influences
    Heart, Jethro Tull, Grand Funk Railroad, Av'nir, Marie-Philippe

    Hmmm... open to comments on that one!
    Artist History
    I started to experiment with computer-based music in 1997, first with MIDI sequences, and later on, towards the end of that same year, with the module formats. All of this culminated with a joint effort with Mike Wheeler from NY state called Project F... Critically acclaimed, the album Farewell to the Millenium didnt live up to commercial expectations, though... Rich from that experience, I therefore decided to re-master a few older pieces and added about as many previously unreleased stuff for an album first called Emotions, and later re-named Pot-Pourri. With the arrival of the year 2000, I decided to re-orient myself, style-wise, to the New-Age/Ambient style, and the album Quiet Hurricane is the first result of efforts in this area.
    Group Members
    Sylvain "syLem" Lemaire, in charge of the whole nine yards, kind of... In other words, in charge of programming, sampling, and generally goofing off... :) Special thanks to my "Project F" buddy, Mike Wheeler, for technical help and overall patience with me, not to mention a set of killer drum sound samples! :-)
    Instruments
    Mostly guitars and electronica, complemented by bass and drums, of course... :-)
    Albums
    Pot-Pourri (formerly Emotions), Quiet Hurricane (the latest release), Farewell to the Millenium (as one half of Project F), and Project F also contributed a piece to the Adored Compilation by Sue Braiden (see link below).
