Life is a bitch (along with some other caracters I know, but that's not the point  ...), and that's the reason why, though I consider myself a musician for nearly twenty years, I'm still that slow and obsessed with details, and still far from being "the next big thing" in electronic pop-rock or whatever ( lol )... as my music copyrights testify about each february  !!! But wait, there's a pattern here...
To make a long story short, in the 60's and 70's you could be a "star" at the age of 18, playing your musical instrument with great skills, because playing a lot and wrapping a hit-song in one week was the way the music went...
But then came the 80's ( yes, I said I was making it short…) and the musical landscape expended, from Peter Gabriel to Jean-Michel Jarre, David Sylvian to Sade, U2 to Laurie Anderson, The Cure to Art Of Noise...
This was my age of discovering music, and more than the performance, Trevor Horn, Thomas Dolby and Robert Palmer teached me about the shaping of sound, the importance of making a simple song something big and « one of a kind », by the endless possibilities of technology… only limited by the human mind and creativity, of course. 
It was truly a way to serve and expand the power and the meaning of any music expression, not an upsetting dead end, betraying some hypothetic "authenticity" of music (whatever it means...), as some ( lazy ) musicians and some audience were starting to complain about, at the begining of the 90's, "authenticity" being average guys with poor hair, barely able to pull a couple of chords on their guitar, but looking so « real » by yelling their despair to the society in a dirty t-shirt… And yes, as I said before, guitar was obviously authentic, any other instruments not so much… go figure.
Well, to go back to the point, that’s why I’m working so much on my music theses days, then it takes soooo long to achieve, caring about the sound, the perfect expression and subject, experimenting every musical and sonic ideas, especially because I’ve got time to catch back, my «career » being a lot working for others. I’m my own man only for a couple of years now, and all these ideas I had in years, they splash out all together now, plus it’s the very first time in my life that music equipments and gears are no longer an issue, thanks to computers, virtual instruments and the internet ! 
So yes, I should be showing up much more on this page, but this music thing takes time no matter I work my *** off, being on it almost every day. So, I promise things will improve eventually, and you’ll see a lot of me on this page… not a so bright idea after all, uh ?
NB : As usual, pardon my english, there must be some embarrassing mistakes along this article…
