When did you start making music?
At the beginning i make mix tapes as child on a cassette recorder mainly using some tracks i like on the radio .
I do some magic tricks for my parents and grand parents and my sister make some dance as she practices on the conservatory from mets and i accompagn it whith some sound.
As teenager i make mixtape for me and friends with french hip hop old school and making my first. tracks with a bull shit tracks of a cd ,a thunder was recorded on the first track and i modify it i’ve lost it.
Then my best firends have a brother wo make music on computer with fruityloops and i understans for the firs time that i can make music on computer so when my father buy a computer i start making music with all sofware i can grab on internet at school.
I use at this time tuareg and synthedit after ,hammerhead,granulab,saccara,etc
What are you thinking when making music? What’s influencing you?
When i’m making music i think whith my ears it’s like a langage to me altrough i have to creates the words in fact the sounds are the words of the music.
i’m influenced mostly by the environment where i live the weather ,the birds sings,a birds alone is easy to hear bird but when i listen to all at the same times it’s chaotics and it appeal me.
it’s lie that no others guy’s influence me as i listen to lots of musics as yasunao tone ,chistian marclay for their use of physical glitch
philip jecks inflence me for my ambients tracks
i also have some influence of more noise people when i buy some tapes don’t know the names .
How do you make your music now ? It seems really noisy, like there is a tension in your tracks?
I make music with both hardware and the software depends on what i want at the moment.
As a hardware i have a minidiscs multitrack recorder ,two old sampler midiverbs an old procorat,contact ic.
at this moment i have found a do-it-yourself to make a cheap spring reverb,i have a cheap mixing board from beringher and making some feedback loop i use a cd player with prepared cd with my sound to alter it.
But in each tracks i use i’m making lots of fields recordings,tv random sampling and i use lots of raw sounds in fact it’s a file that i translate to sound with software .
For sequencing i’m using trackers like renoise ,milkytracker,radium ,etc
Where does your moniker come from?
In fact i like the digitale flower and when i wrote it on my computer screen i write quickly and i make
an error i and i like the word so i keep it .
How did you meet Dry Eyes, the creator of Siccum Records ?
In fact i was seeing on a forum of milkytrackers a message on the boards when a guy ask if someone making nosie music on tracker don’t know at this time so i contact it and he wan to hear my music so i send to him some tracks and he like and proposed to release a small batch of a cd when i’m ready so i send it the album and we released it on siccum records.
Where can we find your old musics ?
on jamendo (« he laptop are dreaming too » as moniker )for the old electronica projects(no noise here) on m bandcamp as diigitae and i think that in the next future i will release a free relase of tracks that i make in the past on internet archive but it would take time to upload as there is lots of tracks.
What are your projects today?
i’m working with a project with dry eyes we have a couples of tracks we create it as the game of bomb,
a child game,each of us send a debut tracks making on renoise and send it a the others and add or modify the tracks.
I have collab in the past with others guys mainly from my family .
I work to on a project that will be entitled extreme wendigo i thinks who are an imitation of the behaviour of cd glitch and real cd glitch with prepared cd i have some tracks in construction,some others finished.
You seem to be interested by some occult things like the wendigo?
Yeah,i don’ t believe on a religion on particular but i like the picture of the wendigo
i make some drawing (really basic) i have a process and when a shoot picture he make like a stained glass
with a wendigo as we could see with jesus on church.
As i’m schizophren i had lots of hallucinations with the Devil,shiva,a mix of human and wolfs
and as i’m stabilised i don’ have it anymore but keep interest for old shamanics things.
Altrough wendigo appears on the natives american when the white people came on united states .
