Origami is me, just me. A part of me. With influences so varied as Skinny Puppy, FSOL, Depeche Mode, Legendary Pink Dots or The Young Gods, I try in my humble way to make the most personal music as an expression of my own self.
Why this name?
I have a passion for the way some words sound. I like Origami cos it sounds both strange and funny. It also has to do with folding. I don't like to follow a line in life. I fold.
Do you play live?
nope for the moment.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
from head to toe. in some aspects for better, in some for worse.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
yes, but only if I could keep on making the music I want to do. Anyway that is not going to happen, is it?
Band History:
In 1994 I started a band called Our Personal Darkness, convinced by a friend of mine. We wanted to make Depeche Modish music. The truth was my friend never did anything (and I mean, never) so we never did anything as a band, but it was a leitmotiv for my starting writing lyrics. I composed around 10 songs but I just had a casio keyboard and no money and soon changed my musical aim for literary attempts.
After writing a lot of short stories and around 400 lyrics, I resumed in 2003 my passion: music. I bought some software and started one of my most important reasons for living, my music. My life has changed since then, for the better!
Your influences?
Everything: things I see, things I don't see but I'd like to see, things I adore, things I absolutely refuse, everything which is in contact with me may influence me in a way or another.

Anything else...?
I don't consider myself a musician, just a player. I play with sounds, with everything that comes out of my head, like a child ripping out his toys in order to see what's inside. So I just wish you can enjoy listening to my music as I enjoy "playing" it. Thanks for devoting some of your time with it.
