I don't play live.

Music medium is in transition, that' the first time music can circulate all over the world wich such facilities. Majors are loosing money, they have the impression to loose control, but remember that radio is free since always. Maybe they loose money by selling less records, but tickets for shows are much higher. It cost me $5. to see Genesis in 73. When you buy music, you don't buy only sounds but concept, style of life and images. Back in the seventees there was a jacket with a vinyl record, someting to see, and something impossible to duplicate. Jackets's cd are to small to have visual impact. Maybe that's a part of a solution.

Maybe, but that's not my goal, I am not business man, I don't have career, I am just a musician.

Since the age of seventeen I learned to manipulate sounds with a Space echo Roland, a Mutron bi-phase and several guitar effects on a four tracks Teak. My first synth was a Korg MS-10. I think the analog sequencer was the element who change the way of making music, the way to understand and execute music much than today's computer. That non-human character attracted me strongly. Before sequencer I made tape loops which was a completely different approach. Back in the seventees, sounds was new, every sounds was new. There was the impression that a complete univers was hide under synth's knobs. So I turned knobs again and again and I continue with pleasure. I can say that I am in the first generation of home recorder.

My principals influences are ,Tangerine Dream,Mike Oldfield, Jethro Tull,Robert Fripp,Klaus Schulze,Larry Fast,Kraftwerk,Genesis,Moby,Rick Wakeman,Yes,Pink Floyd,Jean-Michel Jarre, and all the prog rock bands of the seventees.

In my studio of course, but also in my kayak in summer and on my ski in winter.

I use analog and digital synths: Roland JX-8-P with pg-800, Roland MKS-30 with pg-200, Roland Alpha juno-1, Roland MKS-50,Yamaha tx81z, Korg M3R, Korg MS-2000,Yamaha A-3000,Yamaha TG-77,Alesis hr-16b,Alesis midiverb2,Mutron bi-phase,Fender Squier, boss pedals,Roland VS-840. Soft synth: Waldorf PPG, M-tron, TimeWarp 2600, Korg legacy.
I compose on a Alesis MMT-8 sequencer. Everything is recorded on a Roland VS-840.

I just want make music without any pression just for the satisfaction of express my emotions through sound experimentations. Composing is an excellent way to exist. Music is a God's gift and I enjoy it. Contact:andrefrequency@hotmail.com
