CURRENT MISSION

Listen, see and try to understand

ABOUT ME

I've grown up with music all around, and now I've become an electronics engineer and PhD.
After working for one year and a half as an engineer, I've decided to move back to research. Since 2010 I'm now a postdoctoral researcher in cognitive Neurosciences and I'm particularly interested in the neural basis of music.

PHILOSOPHY

Listen, see, and understand!

History and melodies tell a story. Our consciousness, via our perception, makes this story exist and meaningful. The personal experience of music, makes us grows, makes us think about who and what we are, and were used to be.

兴趣

I LOVE music, I'm listening to music all the time.. I love to participate to jazz jam sessions. I play drums, vibraphone (www.youtube.com/nicofarr and www.youtube.com/lightmotif although this last one is getting old now!), piano, violin..

音乐、电影和书籍

Well let s talk about it in person ok ? I don't like much being filed as " liking something".

I would prefer to say that I like talking about it and connecting it to moments in life..

But here as some starting points / keywords..

Jazz (it s a whole century of history now, with many different musics in it which I like for the most part.. ).... I love old swing, but also bebop, hardbop, free jazz, electric jazz from the 70's...
I also love more modern stuff. Recently I got to know a little bit more about the Berlin local scene..
let's talk about it if you want, it should be simpler !

Funk / Jazz Funk / Fusion..

Progressive / psychedelic / experimental rock (Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Transatlantic, The flower kings, Neal Morse, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Mogwai, ISIS, ...)

.. and ultimately, a mix of all this ! :-)

About books...

"VALISYSTEM" from Philipp K. Dick.

"La Horde du Contrevent" from Alain Damasio ( sorry this one's only in french, but I like it so much.. )

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Playing "Shine on you crazy diamond" with my prog rock band in 2001, below fireworks, during my brother's wedding.
