De la musique improvisée, toujours,
fortement climatique, très électrique, en perpétuel mouvement.
Un univers assez sombre,
où calme et sérénité rivalisent avec bruit et violence,
en un grand écart permanent.
De l’ambiant "noisy" et expérimental,
pour amateur de cauchemards colorés.

I also play keys in the band Forgotten In The Woods Again.
