Band/artist history
Since the age of seventeen I learned to manipulate sounds with a Space echo Roland, a Mutron bi-phase and several guitar effects on a four tracks Teak. My first synth was a Korg MS-10. I think the analog sequencer was the element who change the way of making music, the way to understand and execute music much than today's computer. That non-human character attracted me strongly. Before sequencer I made tape loops which was a completely different approach. Back in the seventees, sounds was new, every sounds was new. There was the impression that a complete univers was hide under synth's knobs. So I turned knobs again and again and I continue with pleasure. I can say that I am in the first generation of home recorder.

Anything else?
I just want make music without any pression just for the satisfaction of express my emotions through sound experimentations.There is a frontier between before and during the creating process. Before, I'm totally free to take any direction. During, I have to follow the stream and reduce my choices until the no choice-end. Making sounds and composing are two different ways of expression wich I never do simultaneously. They're probably not coming from the same part of the brain. I prefer composing than playing, but improvisation bring together these two actions. Composing is an excellent way to exist. Music is a God's gift and I enjoy it. Contact:andrefrequency@hotmail.com
