Hello,
it's time for me to introduce myself.
I am 41 years old and live in the east of France, just near the swiss border (Geneva). I am married and have one 5 years old daughter.
I am a software developer in a small swiss company and used to work for American companies DIGITAL and COMPAQ (when COMPAQ acquired DIGITAL :-)).
I took piano lessons when from the age of 20 to 24. I re-started 2 years ago to play with a keyboard and I am very interested in computer music, but of course, I am very for from being a virtuoso. I also sing in a jazz/pop vocal group.
The music I am interested in is classical, jazz, rock and pop music. To name a few artists, I love Bach, Schumann, Debussy, Bill Evans, Keith Jarret, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Peter gabriel, Kate Bush, Serge Gainsbourgh, Vangelis, ...
My setup is based on an own made PC, running Sonar and some VSTi/DXi instruments: Trilogy, Atmosphere, Synth1 and lots of sound fonts. I also own an old SC 55 Roland sound canvas.
To practice, I also use Band in a Box.
I compose music for my own pleasure and also for the vocal group I participate in. I will try to finalize in the near future some songs I work at and post them to ask the KC community for feedback.
So hello everybody.
The piper.
