about

ZOMIANSCAPE I & II

When asked what were my early influences in music, I got reminded of my teenage time in Parisian suburbs, discovering from public libraries simultaneously 2 important French record labels : OCORA and GRM. The roots of my interest in traditional music and electro-acoustic experiments grew into doing it myself, recording ethnic minorities of the zomian plateaux of south-east Asia and composing a soundscape around it, this is what s happening here on ZOMIANSCAPE
