I'm my own band. But I work with many great artists depending on the context.
1-2 d'piq, Toast Dawg (atach tatuq), YPL as beatmakers. I'm starting a new project with YPL called Héliodrome, it's all about free-jazz, psychoanalysis and a mpc 2000.
I have this improv band called L'Ensemble Kesdjan with some amazing musicians from Montreal : Justin Evans (Rhodes/Harmonium/Clarinet), Will Eizlini (Tablas/Trumpet/Electronics), Eric Gingras (Contrebasse/smallobjects), Michel Meunier (electric guitar/effects), Emmanuel Cote (sitar), Brendan Birkett (drums/percussions). They're involved in groups such as: Shalabi Effect, Rivers And Mountains, Pas Chic Chic, Panopticon Eyelids, Fly Pan Am, Emerald Cloud Cobra, ______________________________________________________________
Principalement solo. Mais je travaille avec plusieurs artistes tels Toast Dawg et 1-2 d'piq a la production (atach tatuq). L'Ensemble Kesdjan comprend plusieurs musiciens de la scene experimentale montrealaise,

Rien de ce que vous avez entendu auparavant
Founding member of Traumaturges in 1996, the band released the album "Suce mon index" in 2000. Afterwards the band became Montreal's finest french Hip-Hop crew Atach Tatuq. atach Tatuq released two albums, the first one "La guerre des tuqs" in 2003 and the second (and last) was released last summer (2005). Intitled "Deluxxx" this album is the bomb, go and check it out. I eventually opted for leftfield Hip-Hop and became submerged by an whole different scene of experimental music, free-jazz, psychedelic, free-folk....I dipped into spoken word (featured artist on NCRA Dig your Roots compilation) but rap is my first love. I started the Kesdjan Ensemble in 2004 as an all improv band (lyrics also) to find a way of expressing my love for experimental music, live shows and freestyles.
In 2005, I've released an Ep of some texts I had. I dropped them on free-jazz tracks that nourrished me (Brotzmann tente, Alice Coltrane, Byard Lancaster...). This project is called L'effet du maintien reciproque. It was released in a first batch of 50 featuring Bleubird, who dropped a freestyle gem on it. It sold out pretty well so I reprinted some more.

Membre fondateur de Traumaturges en 96, j'ai participe a la sortie de Suce mon index en 2000, de la Guerre des tuqs en 2003 et sur l'album Deluxxx sorti cette anne (2005). Eventuellement je me suis detache du Hip-Hop pour m'orienter vers le free-jazz et la musique exprimentale/improvise. J'ai partcipe a une compilation Spoken Word Dig Your Roots mais je me qualifie plus en tant que rapper. En 2004 j'ai forme l'Ensemble Kessdjan ou je peux allier mon amour du freestyle et de la musique improvisee,
En 2005 j'ai sorti un ep intitule l'Effet du maintien reciproque. Sur ce projet j'ai utilise des pieces de free-jazz pour poser de vieux textes que j'avais en banque. Bleubird a feature sur ce projet avec un freestyle magnifique...
