Few new things... However, I did the traditional update (every 5 years) of my age and my home studio gear which is more a vintage collection than a real Home Studio ! But I have a new Kawai K5, an SPX90 and an AKG 190E: I’m back in 80’s :)

2006 DC Project Theme

07/10/2017

In 2006, after DreamCPC and small projects, I started a slightly more important game project for Dreamcast which was a Tetris clone. For various reasons, but mainly the lack of time following my first child, this project was never finished despite many months of work.
I composed the first version of the musical theme that I share today.

Fusion Bank Maker

12/02/2012

FBR (Fusion Bank Rename) is a convenient but incomplete and buggy application. So I decided, some months ago, to reprogram more efficiently and with an interface. FBM (Fusion Bank Maker) was born, although in draft, is already much more powerful than its predecessor. You can compile several banks into a single, edit its categories or create a list of sounds in the Fusion. I hope that eventually it will much more but I am proud to present this first version that I was asked a lot of work.

Site Open ...

08/01/2006

I wanted create a web page with information about my work and me for a long time but I haven’t enough time (and motivation) to do it.
Now, it’s done.
Of course it’s only a beginning because it’s far from finished but there is the core :).
English isn’t my native language so if you find some very strange things, please let me know.
