   About 17F

Probably one of the worst guitar player of the world, I blips and blops with my computer, I sing loud in the night, and I record the whole shit at the end.
The idea behind is to look for the shortest way from soul to the music, as a spiritual research. I dont need to be good, just need to be true. I'm far from my goal, but I do it every day. My ears are broken.

I've made some nice collaborations as composer and re-mixer with some well known swiss bands "Charlotte Parfois", "Hemlock Smith" and "Girls in the kitchen".
I've also made some intimist shows at Le Ned (Montreux), Rocking Chair (Vevey), Le Bourg (Lausanne), most of them with my friend Joel (Girls in the Kitchen)

I'm very interested in other worldwide musical collaborations since it's very easy through internet. So... dont hesitate to contact me.
I working on an LP since two years with the great collaboration of Arnaud Sponar(Opak-Goodbye Yvan), Julien Grandjean (Opak) and Michael Frei (Hemlock Smith). Not sure it will be published soon...

If you were curious enough to read this bio, just click and listen to "my top friends" Thomas Feiner, Brian Borcherdt, Tidy Kid, Goodbye Ivan, Sean Booth... Most of them are unknown but absolutely and deeply incredible!

THE FATALES – Great Surround (monopsone/differ-ant)
Disponible maintenant !



magic – « The Fatales n’oublie pas les vertus d’une sobriété chic et vont droit à l’essentiel. Ce qui rend ce groupe d’autant plus précieux.
» •••••°Pour ceux qui aiment I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness

À découvrir absolument – « Cet album (…) ébouriffe par la classe qu’il renferme.
On avait découvert ce groupe sur une compilation du nom de « Je t’Aime »… inutile d’en dire plus »

d-side – « The Fatales est la bonne petite surprise cold / new wave eighties du bimestre… le son de The Fatales touche au cœur. S’ils continuent à ce train, on en reparlera.
»

Ondefixe / benzine – « Great Surround en impose par sa droiture générale et son tube central incontestable Vanishing Act, titre propulsif qui renvoie U2 et Coldplay réunis sur les bancs d'école et parvient à donner des ailes à chaque retour de caisse claire qui claque. » [8.
0]

pinkushion - « Dans la catégorie romantisme noire, la prochaine grosse sensation rock en provenance de New York se prénomme The Fatales et devrait être le point de rattachement des inconditionnels d’Interpol et les regrettés The Czars.
»

popnews – « Great Surround est un coup de maître, composé de dix titres d'une beauté renversante.
