I am a 24-year-old Ph.D. student from Nancy, North-Eastern France.
The project started during the summer of 2005, when I decided to compose pieces of music on my own, after having been evicted from my former band, the year before. Originally, I did not intend to produce anything formalized, such as albums: the only goal was to enjoy playing music again.
Thus, I bought an audio controller, so that I would be able to hear the music I was producing. After a while, some friends lent an ear to what I had recorded, and convinced me to give the whole thing a new direction, and that was when I decided to record albums and other stuff. I named this project “No Opera” after a track by Chris Cole’s Manyfingers.
So I started releasing things, mainly through free-of-charges downloads. Two LPs and two EPs have been released so far. I’m currently recording the third LP, which will be named “Violent life”. I hope to release it within the first semester of 2009.
In the beginning of 2009, I also finally acquired the electronic equipment required to perform my music live, and rewrote most of the songs in a gig-oriented way.
