SubjectExperimental versus "normal" music....
O.k.    I am  21 years young and by now it seems to be clear that my mind
is really OBSESSED by
EXPERIMENTAL music...I almost get angry or pissed of someone says "I don't
like that shit" when
I let him/her listen to a new record I like.....I know it's silly, bit it
is the truth....

I have friends who are totally the opposite of me considering musical
taste.....I had to hear a thousand
times "You are one hell of sick guy", "You are crazy, that's not music,
that's bullshit" etc...etc....
for instance when I let them hear a nice experimental album, they simply
blast it away with one
phrase like I described above. I hate it, I hate it.....For me, there does
not exist music wich is
to extreme....I have the most open mind one can imagine.....no weirdness IF
it is done with passion
and really serious, is too weird for me....voila ;-)

I LIVE in what old fashioned people call in "strange music", It is my
second language, I perfectly understand it, It's a home for me, a destiny,
a mission...I hate it when people say it's shit when I
know they like stupid pathetic rockmusic and TOP-50 charts popmusic...

It all started way back in 1987 when I was 10 years old...It was an
ordinary day, I was making my
homework in my room, when my dad arrived home from his work....I heard him
yelling from downstaris that he had something for me....Curious as I was I
ran downstairs to see what it was...Two vinyl
records, one of Jean-Michel Jarre (Oxygene) and one of Brian Eno (Ambient
#4 On Land)....I played
them and I was totally amazed, passionated, I fell in love with the
records...I still have them in my
collection. Later on (I was 11 or 12) I started collection more of Jarre,
Eno and Kraftwerk.....
I pathetically  "failed" in keeping track of commercial rock and popmusic,
but I don't care at all I don't like it anyway, I had a fulltime job with
the electronic and jazz music. I also remember my first mixtape 
I did when I was 14. It was on an old 2 track band recorder and it covered
two hours of freejazz of my dad's record collection with electronic
elements of my own (small) collection.....With my first 
Atari ST and Amiga in 1992 I started making tracks myself....then
PC.....Now it's 1998 and nothing
seems unpossible anymore...




FREEDOM, LOVE AND CREATIVITY ABOVE ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!
