Kinet
Alain Kinet,with no musical formation i try to make music or soundscapes like a painter i use sounds on a recordable canvas. With sequencers and multitracks i play with the musical layers.
The result is more due to a lot of hasard and luck.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
1973 - I made my first recorders with 2 cassette recorders and a tape recorder when i was 13 years old, kind of collages or mixes of all kinds of noise with pieces of records.
