"Polycultural meditationist musicer" It is like that i introduce myself when someone asks me to do it.
Since my birth, I cultivate the Music, thats what makes me say that I am a musicer above all, and long time before the Internet came along. But it is in parallel and jointly with the development of Internet that I computerized my musical practice for the happiness of young and old.
Meditationist, I became by the force of musics I composed as others build steel muscles lifting heavy dumbbells. Polycultural I am, I cant be monocultural. In my view monoculture is a technocratic aberration to productivist vocation.
I love complementarity above all. I made the design of my websites, and my covers.
My influences range from Stravinsky to Ennio Morricone, including the Velvet Underground, Prince and many others.
I use an Imac and musical softwares as logic pro, my preferred.
