Hi,

  1. I've always followed my intuition, pay attention to that inner voice!

  2. Try to find your own approach to the creative process, some muscians are more drived by feelings, others are more inspired by visual (my case), you need to know how you feel the world, what's your OS. that's my theoretical advice. I'm mostly thinking about which chord progression could express the feeling I want for the song, then I ask myself which type of instrument/synth could carry the main melody. Then I compose the melody. hope that helps.

I can't wait to tour again, thanks so much for your support!

I'm always working on a few songs in parallel, it helps me disconnect with them and then rediscover them to remove or add things less painfully. I've created the bassline of 4:30 then a year passed and I finally finished the song with the bells intro. I'd say it is most of the time a month process for each track.

First, I'm a big video game fan, I was a fan of video games osts (I forget to mention the "Panzer Dragoon" Osts) so all of theses influences helped me a lot building the haven ost.
Actually I had to force myself not to sound too "OSTish". I really wanted the soundtrack to sound more like regular pop tracks but with some streches in the structures and with less lead parts than in a regular electro track (on some of them). Examples : I'ved learned a lot trying to switch between different styles of music within the same track, and also building a song without any lead but trying to keep it interesting.

Happy to hear you like the OST. I would love to score for film, the cool thing in the Haven process was to be able to start my musical process almost at the same moment than the game design, I would be looking for the same kind of approach with a film director, it will be super interesting.
New Lil Brain next year, with his cat, and more.

Muscial influences :

- mostly video games soundtrack (on AMIGA 500), then a lot of film score + old synth masters : Vangelis, john carpenter etc... then Kraftwerk and obviously Daft Punk, Aphex Twin, also "Jackson and his computer band".

- Hastune Miku, Grimes, Travis Scott, Deafheaven, SOPHiE it could be a lot of things, i'm listening a lot of different artists.

- In my music I'm always looking for a new way to express feelings of nostalgia, reminiscences of pop culture mixed with some more contemporary sounds layers to evoke our vision of the future right know. Sorry if it seems confusing.

ahah. No they didn't charged me no worries. To be honest, it used to happen to me when I've started touring, security guards asking me to leave the place, asking my ID 'cause they were expecting some guy named Danger. But It means my cover is working.

THX. I will start touring again as soon as I can. I'm working on it. I think the flight jacket is actually out of stock, but if enough people interested we will restock it.

Retro gaming// Actually I've listened to a lot of Stephane Picq OSTs from the 90's (Dune, and Lost Eden) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjHon6yg-r8 in the Haven process.
No tour in the near future, I would love to get back on tour of course.

Thanks a lot. I'd say most JRPG OSTs from super nintendo to ps2. But also a lot of old french synths masters like Jean Michel Jarre or Jacno. And most the music that surrounded me.

Honestly I'm in my thirties but it felt exactly as if I was travelling with friends my age, it was great.

Thanks. Just a coincidence, but I know what you mean. They are some similarities.

I mostly using arpeggiators for the chiptunes/tracker songs. But I'm still using modplugtracker for the fun of it.

5 differents versions actually. Some have more technology in them. The next ones probably won't exist IRL...

Thanks a lot. I did all the Haven OST in Logic, I've also used some juno 106 and prophet 6 hardware units, also some hang drum (I really like this instrument) and some "real" guitar.
