About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Change Your Mind, Change The World

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Paris, I've been working as a freelance sound engineer for 10 years, mostly for Tv networks. I'm rather easy-going and always ready to hang out and meet new people. Pragmatic idealist, existentialist sometimes cynical ( just for fun ) with a measured dose of romanticism I don't use my frenchness as an excuse but a simple explanation.http://www.mattbenphoto.comhttp://radiostationexp.blogspot.com/

PHILOSOPHY

Bite more than you can chew, then chew it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music : A lot of Reggae ( Marley & family, Groundation, Burning Spear, Sizzla... ), a bit of Hip-Hop ( Wu-Tang, Wax Tailor, Dj Shadow ), and a mix of various artists I usually discovered filming concerts for Tv.

Movies : Following the advice of one of my teacher at film school, I watch a movie everyday ( minimum ), no specific preference really. I like to be surprised.

Books : I don't like novels very much, except for Philip K.Dick, Paul Auster or Borges maybe, mostly reading essays and/or philosophy.

I love Comics.
