After studying classical piano for a few years, I grew up mainly by destroying electronic devices and making sounds out of broken PCB, recording and mixing them with 'real-life' sounds on a modified stereo player, trying to create my own pieces of music without the need of any instrument. So I guess you can say I started making concrete and "acousmatic" music when I was fourteen :) My musical career began in the mid-80's, as a synthesist and composer in the post-punk/industrial age. Since then, my interest in sound synthesis and audio processing led me to explore some new musical materials and forms in electronic music.
