As I started to make electronic music, I was into 90's acid house. I wanted to find a name that evolved around this scene, and phormic acid came to mind. I adapted it to Phormique just to add a french twist, since I am a swiss/french canadian.

As I am not yet equipped with a laptop, I only played live a few times. Although I like the energy that emerges from live performances. It definetly makes you feel better about your art.

To me, the MP3 technology changed the industry of music in a way that the independant artist as now alternative solutions to diffuse his music. We are no longer bound to deal with major labels and multinationals.

No, I would prefer not to be fooled by unfair contracts or to be trapped with recoupable royalties.

I started making electronica in 1998, I was 16 years old when a music shop clerk informed me of Propellerhead's Rebirth. As soon as I got it,I fell in love with it, and then I got to try a whole bunch of other softwares and those made me thirst even more for creation. Even now, one of my hobbies is to try all sorts of new music softwares, just to devellop new techniques.... :)

My musical influences come from artists like: New Order,Kraftwerk, Squarepusher, Hardfloor, Soviet, Depeche Mode, DMX Krew, Miami Vice's Jan Hammer...

Montreal, Québec, and Zurich.

I use software synths like Fruity Loops and Reason. I also do my tracking on Cubase SX. My other gear is the Korg MS-2000, Yamaha RM1x, TR-505 and TR-707, electric and acoustic guitars.

Feel free to critisize my work to your will as I am completely open to any comments.
