Flipper Clipper (forum)
A funky song. It's a song I wrote in 1985. I found an old
cassette tape with many songs of that period and this is
the first one I resuscitated thanks also to the fact that
at that time I still used to write music on paper (no
scoring applications back then)

Nemo variations (forum)
This electro-symphonic piece started as an improvised
monophonic line that I captured on my sequencer while I was
playing it. That line (no adjustments, quantizations etc.)
became the theme (stated at the beginning of the piece) and
also the only material used for all subsequent permutations

No More (forum)
I wrote it back in 2003 after one year spent trying to
enter the dance music market (without success). At that
point I was fed up I just had to say NO MORE
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Quasiton (forum)
This bebop-o-tronics tune started out as a free piano
improvisation recorded on my sequencer and then edited up
to the smallest detail. If improvisation is sometimes
called "instant composition", my compositions could be
called "dissected improvisations
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tres exotique 1 (forum)
A

(MIDI) that I edited, cut in pieces that were moved around
and repeated to give a sense of form to it
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Tres exotique 2 (forum)
A newer and longer version of previous piece
-------------------------------------------------------------------
