Teradelie

At the edge of twelve, my ears and heart were simply divided between The Bee Gees and Genesis... I had just discovered Genesis in the middle of my disco period with the "And then they were three" album and really fell in love with this kind of music... Even if I don't do "progressive music" (probably, I'm not good enough for that...) I can say that it's my big musical influence and what it has unconsciously inspired my peculiar ambiences... I also worked my voice on Kate Bush, Peter Hammill's songs a few years after, bass and treble voice...before taking serious singing lessons for 6 years (singing with a great pleasure on Francis Poulenc melodies and classical songs), and some piano and compositional lessons too.

It's always very hard for me to define the music I do. I simply and heartfully do what I feel inside... without any question, barrier or restraint. Played and recorded all at "Teradeliome", my home studio.

I like to create my songs as ambiences, giving for each one a special universe which can make the listener feel like she or he is on a kind of healing trip, elsewhere, somewhere on planet earth but at the same time so far away - head in the clouds - There's always a hint of mystical stuffs in my lyrics, I will not deny this.

I do really love and enjoy stage performances, the magic of the exchange between me and the audience, there's so much energy and soul... (most of the time, I play alone with machines).

In August 2002, my fourth album "ZaZen" came out with its maturity and plenitude (thanks to the previous ones which help me to develop and polish my own style up) - One step further - It gives me the great opportunity to meet persons as Anne Clark, David Hentschel with whom I did or do collaborate in one or the other way... But hush, it's already the story of the beginning of the next album...

So welcome to Cosmogony !

P.S : Some years after, I still enjoy singing on the beautiful melodies of Genesis and The Bee Gees...
