Hi there,
My name is Armand. I am a Dutch keyboardplayer with a big passion for electronic music. At the age of 5 I started playing the organ in our livingroom but actually decided that drums would be better for me. So I went to a music-school and got 6 years of drums-education. After playing drums in a couple of bands I found out that keyboards are a better instrument for me to express myself, and while playing drums I never gave up playing keyboards. At the same time I got familiar with the music of Jean Michel Jarre and the choice and switch was obvious.
I produce trance / techno / electronica music with very much of it's own style... well... you might hear a lot of Jean Michel Jarre and similar music in my productions, but nevertheless always try to maintain a direct and simple approach to my songs... well most of time at least.
I also started making instrumental versions of various kinds of songs, among with some cover versions of various tracks. Mail me if you need a soundtrack of a song. They can be delivered in all kinds of formats, keys, etc.
Check out my music, drop me a line on the message board and don't forget to vote because your opinion matters!
I have not yet the desire to perform my own work, but you never know. The producing and sharing of the music is where most of the fun lies for me at the moment... You can however see me perform with countryrockband The Lowlanders. For more info about them check: www.soundclick.com/thelowlanders
