One person, two synthesizers, a computer, and a few neurons.
I began composing music in the 1980s on an old upright piano my dear Father had bought for the family. Later, I joined a theater group (drama) to compose music for their plays. Some of my music also aired on the radio in Algeria.
I played live a few times, a long time ago. The interaction with the audience was interesting. You get to know them, and they get to know you.
I have no theoretical education in music. When inspiration hits, a song comes out.
My influences involve a wide range of music styles, composers, and groups. Look inside the little box on the left-hand side of this page to have an idea. However, it is worth mentioning that what impacts me the most is music that has melody.
