Your musical influences
Daft Punk (wicked grooves), Gorillaz (experimental rap), Antoine Clamaran, Robbie Rivera, Underworld (progression), Kraftwerk (sounds), Safri Duo (percussions), Infected Mushroom, Crystal Method, and many more.What equipment do you use?
I started in 1999 with MTV Music Generator on Playstation. I had rented it just to try that new game. I never ever imagined it would lead me to being an electronic music composer. The future has some very interesting surprises!
I switched to Fruity Loops in 2002, mainly because I was tired of MTV M.G. (especially making music with a controller... very tedious) and Fruity offered some new possibilities like synthesis and effect plug-ins.
I started using Propellerhead Reason 2.5 in 2004, after learning how to in college. I use it now in combination with Sonar 3, for the mixing/audio part.Anything else?
