This is my contribution to the Rusted Tone Recordings: Sampler Vol. 1 various artists compilation.  Recorded using dual reel to reel tape decks and a single tape loop that continuously records over itself, slowly degrading over time.  Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy!!

Swims without preference in different currents from electro to hiphop, including house and ambient, rock, triphop, techno, easy listening, experimental..blablabla..

Currently working on his first album and a few singles

My first encounter with ambient music was a happy accident in 2001. At the time, I was working for a company that managed the SNEP catalog: the French National Union of Photographic Publishers. We received entire boxes of new music on CD from most of the country's record labels. One of my colleagues was a music fanatic and had a keen ear for finding interesting works. One day, he put on Recoloured - The Remix Album by Nils Petter Molvaer.
I was expecting electro-jazz, but one track on the album really touched me. I'd never heard music like it before: "Kakonita" by Deathprod Mix, aka Helge Sten, a Norwegian musician. That's how I discovered ambient music.

Alongside my musicology studies at the University of Paris 8
I played bass and guitar in small clubs and cafes in the Paris région. Interested in ambient for a long time, I started to really compose it since 2023
in my small home studio.
My next goal is to be able to practice and create ambient in the street, to do featuring and improvise;
