At the age of 12, Pi started writing his own songs in 1988, inspired by his father’s record and guitar collection. He learned to play a semi-acoustic jazz guitar and got first feedback vibes by daddy' s sixties Hagström guitar. That sound gave inspiration for some first songs. Using also daddy’s cassette tape deck, his mixing table and an old worn out Bayer microphone, a number of ideas were recorded in a lo-fi manner. This was long before Guided By Voices or Sebadoh came to the scene.  These 20 songs are from 1992-1994, a first period of recording in his bedroom in Tienen, a famous sugar town somewhere in the southeast of Brussels, Belgium. Enjoy the first mixtape of BUFFOON songs.
