My 2016 Achievements - January 4, 2017

Photo by Vortex ©2016

2016 proved to be a great year for me.  While connecting with new friends and followers on my social media, I have met some wonderful people who inspire me in my day to day life as well as my artistic work.  As I experiment creating music in out-of-the-box genres, I strive to perfect my synth programming and keyboard techniques, lyric-writing skills and continue with my analog field recordings of organic soundscapes which I treat in my studio and magically weave throughout my music.

In 2016, my biggest news was portraying myself in the feature length documentary "Montréal New Wave", a movie by Érik Cimon that shines the light on the numerous artists who fueled the explosive new wave music and art scene in Montreal in the late 1970s and 1980s.  Montréal New Wave was produced by Péripheria Films Inc. and is distributed by Les Films du 3 mars.
