Interested in soundtracks, I'd rather be introduced as a "musical travel-agent"

http://store.homenormal.com/index.php?route=product%2Fproduct&product_id=428

A filmic adventure where luscious string arrangements convey a whole world of emotion, and the organic sound of instruments is never outshadowed by machines.
"Post-Classical" soundtrack FOR FANS OF Kronos Quartet – Tom Waits - Efterklang – Brian Eno - Tunng - The Books - Max Richter...

"Cordophone" is a French word which refers to musical instruments whose sound comes from the vibrations of one or several strings. That massive work features Nils Frahm, Adrian Klumpes, Rob Ellis, Reinhold Friedl, Manuel Zurria, Alison Chesley, Aidan Baker, James Johnston, Richard Harrison, Alexander Bruck, Maria Grigoryeva, Bela Emerson, Els Vandeweyer, Alexander Mahnev, Vladimir Shubin, Hervé Vincenti, Perceval Bellone, Raphaelle Rinaudo, Ulrike Haage, and Ahmad Compaoré...

"I love to play live and onstage I play an Electric Psalterion + "Triple Caterpillar" Drum Guitar + turntables + an amplified wood-tablet, a washboard-like kitchen tool, various glass/knives/inflatable balloons... I use Max MSP to process textures w/ my laptop (prepaired strings, various clicks & electro-acoustic or field recordings forming a tapestry of sound) to create a deep sound assemblage. 
Topping it all I play my prepaired vinyls. 
Assaulting turntables to take advantage of the vinyl material to fondle released sounds, raking the needle across the record's grooves, rubbing their stylus on paper, cardboard, metal to process unusual noises and textures… Headbutting... Dancing... Enjoying to perform and entertain my audience."
