...Leaving only what is necessary
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?

Re: dux tion, Leaving only what is necessary. Re: dux tion down to its essence. Created in 2005, Re: dux tion is the solo-project of Christophe G. Besides Re: dux tion, Christophe is also a member of Drug of Choice and a former member of Die My Darling, Immaculate Corrosion and Wardrobe Cathedral. As a remixer, Christophe has remixed songs for Fr/action, Heat From A Deadstar and Ganymede.
Re: dux tion is a mixture of all my influences. It allows me to mix all the various types of music that I like into one. In some way I am trying to explore the commonality amongst various forms of music. With this project I am able to create without any restrictions or compromises. There is a feeling that there is no wrong all is possible.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes, I do play live and hope to play a lot more once i finish recording the newest songs. I'll play anywhere they will have me. Playing live is one of my greatest loves.
