In short about me:
the new electro pop rock music intimate and progressive, influenced by Depeche Mode, Steven Wilson, Meteor Show, Massive Attack, Steve Reich, David Whitaker, King Crimson, new wave and chiptunes from 80’s/90’s, the 70’s…
multi-instrumentist , composer, interpret. I work on mixes and mastering for local bands on Marseille (Parking Shell), and sound making for theatre bands (Manifeste Rien).
I also maintain playlists in all styles to (re)discover great musics.

My style :
it’s electronical, sometimes cold / it rocks and glistches, but, now, it’s getting warmer / it’s having a look on our human condition, using the eyes of a machine /
it’s buzzing / it’s craking / it floats in the eathereal areas of some electronic dreams /
on the razor edge, at the frontier between psychic equilibrium and sickness melancholy, where rhythmic deconstruction is the rule /
it is … the wet machine mechanics.
Tools I use :
I’m a lover of free computering and open-source projects. I also love tracking from the big years (85-95), and of the computer platform called amiga. I use mainly :
- a mac or a windows PC
- renoise for programing
- ableton live for mixing
- an amiga 1200
- many instruments like piano, electronic drums…
I regularly post articles on amiga and its family there : http://amiga.thewetmachine.net/
