All my work is compiled in this playlist. It alternates between slow, ambient soundscapes dominated by synthesizer's arpeggios, and more energic electronica tracks. I use only hardware gear as sound sources (mostly analog). I sometimes blend in some classical instruments, such as acoustic piano, and guitars, as well as field recordings. Enjoy the listening!

A special moment in the Beatles history: in 1966 John Lennon gave an interview for a British newspaper where he said that "the Beatles were more popular than Jesus", illustrating his idea that Christianity was shrinking, and would eventually die. This triggered a wave of indignation (the worst of it involved mass burning of Beatles records, and anonymous death threats) further amplified by the media. During the following months, in every interview Lennon gave, he had to answer multiple questions about "the incident".

This downtempo song features an extract of John Lennon speech in one of those press conferences, trying to bring the situation back to normal. It is made using a mix of analog synthesisers and acoustic instruments (Rhodes & electric guitar).

I'm a French music producer based in Amsterdam. I compose emotional electronica where vintage synthesisers and drum machines blend with classical instruments. Watch a full live set in my home studio: https://youtu.be/0NIIR8QU8Hk
