Because english is not my native language, I’m looking for someone fluent enough in english to check out my lyrics, as well as anything I wrote here.
Please, if you have time, go to the blog section above and feel free to mail me about any improvement to my lyrics. I need to turn them into correct english, or just into a better song, before the final recording. Thanks a lot.

Maniac Address is a solo project I started after many years spent as a keyboard player-programmer into various rock-electro bands. Willing to change, and because I started roaming around the gothic corner of my record shops as enthusiastic as I can be, I decided this was the right time to make gothic music.
But you may ask : what kind of gothic music anyway ? If the gothic community is now pretty wide across occidental world, if anyone can supposedly identify its members just by their look (sometimes misleaded, unfortunately, by some dressed-in-black-but-just-shitty-pop-major-acts, but don’t get me started), gothic music, however, is pretty hard to define.
Hard, dark metal screaming-their-rage bands; acoustic, traditional instruments pieces with beautiful lyrical voices; computer generated electro-indus-cold-new-dark-wave acts; all of these soundscapes, and more, are influencing my current work. All of them may be eligible for a gothic tag, despite the fact that, strictly soundly speaking, they have nothing in common.
So, no matter how blurry the boundaries of gothicness may be, I’m into it now. I’ll use almost only machines to produce my sound, so you can call it gothic or indus or ebm or just electro if you wish. Fuck that. I just hope my music will be enjoyed by people both inside and outside the gothic community.
To finish, there is one common point I can see among all those musical acts : they all share a high level of sadness, sorrow and/or lost of faith in the human race. As far as music can be significant, they are often founded on the idea that, in our world ruled by maniacs who took power by the mean of violence or treachery, there is very little hope for our sweetest feelings, for anything that once was pure innocence. Every emotion we should be proud to stand for together is meant to disappear on the long run, shattered by the attrition of some hatred-driven conflict, flooded out forever on the last day on earth we’ll let happen to preserve short term greed, or just dispersed after years of loneliness by the coldest winter wind.
