I create music using electronic soundchips.
Here are a few electronic sounds, the ones we had on our Commodores C64, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, Amiga, Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Nintendo, Sega...
Electronic creation had beautiful years with the advent of these machines, and sometimes it seems that it is not possible to do better.
Our goal is not to do better, but to do differently: we use melodies from the past, such as ancient, medieval, baroque, folk, trad musics, and reinterpret them with some "futuristic" tools which are already outdated. We can also look toward other tonalities.
