80s pop, New Wave; bands, projects and musicians such as Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cure, Duran Duran, Alphaville, David Bowie, Indochine, Front 242, Kraftwerk, The Art of Noise, J.M. Jarre...
Hard to say if the following has influenced me but I also enjoy film music from composers such as Ennio Morricone (The mission) or classical geniuses like Mozart, Chopin, Bach, Beethoven, Vivaldi..................................................................................................................I HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING FOR PEOPLE WHO LIMIT THEMSELVES TO ONE STYLE OF MUSIC! MUSIC IS NOT A FASHION BUT RATHER A VERSATILE WAY TO FEEL LIFE! .........................................................................................................................................................................................................

Born in Paris France, I grew up both in Paris and in San Diego, California. I have had the opportunity to work together with many remarkable musicians mostly on electronic music. Today I live in Hamburg Germany, where I mix music, do remixes and work on my own ideas as well as on joint projects. I really enjoy working with other people! Between 2001 and 2005, together with various DJs, I released a few trance tracks on Tunnel Records (Hamburg). Now, I collaborate with Hajo (Major Records) and it has been an honour to work on an Alphaville remix (joint project) and a Colony 5 remix (my mix). Both remixes have been released on the synth-pop sampler "Elektrisch". Another important music partner and very good friend worth mentioning is Olivier (myspace: Aston Clyde) who lives in LA. Thanks to myspace, I have met wonderful music lovers from all over the world who have been very supportive, talented musicians with whom I have collaborated on a couple tracks and a couple artists who create unique videos. Last but not least, if you have a chance, please check out my demos for LINPLUG software synths at: http://www.linplug.com under Products and Sounds. These soft-synths are amazing! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PS. I hope you enjoy the pictures I took and loaded up on here!

"I know this song too... I believe it came out around 1990. That is one of his most famous tracks.
Eva Cassidy sang it too?"
If you weren't 800 kilometres away, I'd kill you for saying that. HOW many times have I sent you that??? I am going to cry! That song is one of the most beautiful versions in the universe. Hang your head in shame!
See! See! You just don't give the level of excitement needed for that song. It's taken over my life!
And as for 'Sting in the police'...well listen to THIS. I KNOW you know the song because I've sent it to you so many times. This is his original version
Eva Cassidy's is more beautiful (funeral please) but this is so chilled, lazy...so 'summer evening' and walks through Lewes and Glynde and stuff...ahh, to be a young girl in the Sussex countryside!
And the second one!!!! Ohhhhhh you must teach me more german than the silly things I know...what ARE they saying? I sought out 'allein' in the description...and the one on the right looks like Sting (mmm!)
I don't remember 18 years ago dearie. The one from NOW...I like both of those, the non-Kraftwerk one sounds fantastic! But the one they're using now...it's wonderfully cheesy but I can't hear it anyway
Ohhhhhhhhhhh my god...I read a fiction book from the perspective of one of the builders...amazing, this is 14th century! The city centre is practically all medieval! Oh I am in heaven!
1) Google Earth (I love that program!) tells me the grand canyon is near San Diego-tell me EVERYTHING please 2)Have you heard the little synth ditty that goes with the Tour de France? It's like a little bird feeding! I can't find it but it's lovely 3)Go to Barcelona. Just go http://www.panoramio.com/photo/2414754
Hello, I am sorry I have not had time to reply to your comment until now. Thank you very much again for showing interest. As of right now, it is "in the air" on planned concerts. I am trying to finish 2 albums and a dvd that will be available. Germany is definitely on my places of interest for concerts. I will surely let you know as soon my schedule comes through. Thank you again! And I listened to your music, you are a talented person. Hope to hear more from you!
