Here is a liveset I performed with VJ William Stone at a great underground party named Bitte Acht Bits IV. Massive room, cool people, cheap drinks and even a video game space where one could play some old school Terminator arcade shooter. Is it how heaven looks like?

Special thanks to William Stone and all the team who organized this event, hope to see you again soon.

Here is a recording of a short liveset I performed as the closing of a techno party organized by my crew Ultratech. This is surely one of my most improvised sets ever, as there were almost zero written parts before I started playing it. One couldn't tell by just listening to the recording as there isn't any sound from the room, but people were crazy. I remember these ecstatic dancers who made impossible moves just in front of me and the sweaty walls as if it was yesterday.

Special thanks to Itaho, Divine and Breakphil for having shared the booth with me that night.

Disclaimer: For some reason, the recording is in mono. Let's pretend together it's not a bug but a feature.

Here is a recording of a liveset I performed at Crash Server's basement for their Back2TheStream livestreaming session. Recording was slightly edited as there were some odd audio glitches in the original one. Maybe some parts are also too long and repetitive, but I didn't want to modify it too much.

Special thanks to Crash Server for the great initiative and invitation, and big up to all the other artists involved: NoisK8, Vindeyre, AFALFL, and Jules Cipher.

Here is the recording of an ephemeral liveset I created for Ultratech Chaos Lab 1.0, the first instalment of a party series dedicated to experimental music and digital art. The event took place at le Local Bar, a great venue located in Strasbourg, and well known for its crafted beers and rock concerts. Even if there were few people, the vibe was great, and I remember very well this special feeling of complete freedom I had during my performance. Hence the last part that wasn't supposed to be that long initially.

Special thanks to the Local Bar team for hosting this event, and big up to all the other artists involved: Comtesse du Ghetto, Coloscope, and Crash Server.

Here is the ephemeral liveset I performed at Ultratech Chaos Lab 2.0, the second instalment of a party series dedicated to noise, livecoding, and other experimental stuff. This gig was a little special as it was the first time I played at the Diamant since Exploration 1 which took place something like 5 years ago. It was also the first time I used a random notes generator (you can hear it in the first part). I really enjoyed the 'melody cascade' feeling it gave to the whole piece. Will definitely reuse this kind of technique in the near future.

Special thanks to the Diamant team for hosting the event and 520Still for the awesome visuals he illustrated my liveset with, and big up to all the other artists involved: Azertype, Ralt144mi and Leon Denise from the Cookie Collective, Papirove Houby, Jules Cipher, Coloscope, William Stone, and Crash Server.

Ok this is a special one. When Canine invited me to her Unleash residency at la Kulture, she proposed me to warmup the party from 11:30pm to 1am. It was the very first time I had to create an ephemeral piece more than an hour long so it was a little challenging, especially because I design each of these ephemeral pieces to be like one, continuous, giant escalation. The fact that this liveset was so long did create some very interesting moments in my opinion, especially in the beginning, like if all these synth arps were diluted in some ethereal space or something.

Believe it or not, someone even told me that this performance would fit in a contemporary art museum. Don't know how to take it really, so let's say this is an awesome compliment.

Thank you very much Canine for inviting me, it was a great night. I would also thank Zoe and Laurent for the beautiful conversation we had together after the bar did close its doors. Good and powerful memories.

This is maybe the most unexpected show I performed so far. The Next is a little nightclub located in the middle of the historical centre of Strasbourg. It's a neat venue, with a nice staff and a good sound-system, but one can say it's very mainstream music-driven, so the odds to hear experimental, or even electronica stuff there is near zero.

Actually that was quite a challenge for me to adapt my style to this peculiar place. I had to find the right balance between my usual weird no input sounds, and some more musical/danceable elements, so I wouldn't lose the whole audience instantly. Turned out it worked pretty well, as people looked like they were really enjoying the moment. Interestingly, the most receptive were the younger part of the audience. I remember that the deeper we went into the expedition, the larger was the physical separation between the older ones, chatting and smiling in the background, and the younger ones, nervously dancing and headbanging just in front of me.

Thank you very much Nico, Mich-Mich and all the Kollectiv Wolfgang for trusting me and making this weird crossover of genres happen, thank you Ricardo for the great conversation, thank you Flipper for hosting the party, and thank you Crash Server for recommanding my name to the team. It was both a fun and interesting project to work on.

PS: The water sound you can hear in the beginning comes from the entrance of the Next.

This live was created for Molitor 3, an electronic music event organized by my friend Marti.B at Elastic bar which is one of the most famous venues of Strasbourg nightlife. Unfortunately the event didn't have much success, but it didn't stop us to share a beautiful moment with Marti and his two other guests: Canine who invited me few weeks earlier, and Brian Burger, an electronic music producer close to the German techno scene.

Thank you Marti.B for involving me in this project, and big up to Canine and Brian Burger for their music performances.
