For better sound quality and older stuff, here are some tracks I recorded and/or produced :
Koban (aka Pierre Cobai) was born in 1971 and as far as he can remember his first experiences of the power of music came from listening to the psychedelic sound of the Pink Floyd and synthetic/industrial noises of Depeche Mode. Two of the main influences that led much later to the discovery of sound designers like Amon Tobin, Massive Attack and producers like Brian Eno and Rhys Fulber.
Beyond these influences that can be heard, perhaps, in his music, he is also a great fan of Leonard Cohen's texts and voice.
After bad drumming, he decided to become a bad guitarist because he fell in love with Dave Gilmour's Stratocaster. And then, thanks to technology, he started recording his own compositions, remaining a bad guitar player but little by little learning how to use a multi-track recorder, analogic effects and a cheap sampler. With the advent of personal computers and music softwares, he finally found his way and achieved to give a reality to his musical phantasms.
Through some collaborations, he occasionally plays electro-rock with project The Burning Urge and scores for amateur movies, which is not surprising when you know how much he loves cinema. Since 2007, he plays on stage with Audrey d'Ithaque, giving the songs an electro touch.

How's it going? I have some new songs up on my profile. Check it out if you get a chance. Here's a guitar video I did awhile back, if you like it, please tell your friends about me! enjoy!
Check it out! I wrote a free book on music production! It's for total beginners, but if you aren't new to music production, maybe you'll still learn something... at least you can send it to your friends who always want to ask you a billion questions about music production! It's totally free too; my goal with this is to accumulate as many BFF's as possible.
