about

A journalist for various magazines and radio DJ since 1983, as well as a musical activist, I have celebrated 35+ years of sharing/transmitting my musical passions.
Since the early 2000s I have been introduced as a « musical travel agent » and been performing the world, playing festivals all over Europe, Russia, Poland, Canada, USA, Mexico, Australia & Asia…
Feeling lucky to release on several international labels such as Aagoo, Opa-Loka, Southern UK, Monotype, Alrealon Musique, Beta Lactam Ring, Sub Rosa, HomeNormal, Important, HelloSquare, Public Eyesore, Utech, Staubgold, etc...
Fortunate enough to work with what people call a dream-team of collaborators: Lydia Lunch, Murcof, The European Contemporary Orchestra (E.C.O.), Mark Cunningham (MARS), Cindytalk, Iancu Dumitrescu's Hyperion Ensemble, Stephen O'Malley, Faust, Eugene Robinson (Oxbow), Edward Ka-Spel (Legendary Pink Dots), Simon Fisher Turner, Scott McCloud (Girls Against Boys), Cosey Fanni Tutti (Throbbing Gristle), Foetus, Graham Lewis (Wire), Barry Adamson, Andy Diagram, Scanner, Machinefabriek, Mira Calix, Kammerflimmer Kollektief, Justin K. Broadrick, James Johnston (Gallon Drunk/Bad Seeds/Faust), ASVA, Jarboe, Jad Fair, Martin Dupont and many more...

I wanted to start our collection with this piece because when I decided to pay hommage to EMS I put out a call to my acquaintances playing those wonderful synthesizers they had invented. An appeal to their creativity so that finally our efforts are gathered and show that no instrument was, and will be capable of as much grace in experimentation. Besides, as much as I may love synthetic music I sometimes need mine to incorporate some « concrete elements », some acoustics and thus chose to marry the Synthi A with my piano soundboard and my voice calling out… In parallel I also had in mind, living in Marseille, down South, that sometimes by the sea I can hear a call coming from down under… Are those sirens or those voices in my head…?
