Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Become a fine musician. Build fine pedals for musicians.
ABOUT ME
I'm supposed to be an engineer in electronics but since 13 years I spend most of my time trying to play guitar. So I ended up creating guitar/bass pedals. But when I'm not working or playing music, I'm spending time with my family and friends, or reading books or trying to grow vegetables and flowers in my garden.
I'm curious, but a little bit shy when there's a lot of people I don't know. I'm not a super-party-guy, I don't like overcrowded places unless it's a good concert. I just prefer to spend my time discussing with people and learn from them, going to concerts, or visiting places with my "go and get lost" method.
PHILOSOPHY
I just try to "take care" of people, nature, and everything that surrounds me as much as I can. Also I like to learn, from everything...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I practice free musical improvisation. A way of music so close to anarchy (I mean the political form of anarchy) that it makes you feel something like: "I knew it!!! Anarchy can work..."
Soundpainting was also a funny thing. But now I'm into paint AND sound...
