What this website is about

The goal of this page is to facilitate critical understanding about my instruments and how to play guitar with certain experimental extended techniques, filled up with other things happening in my life & counter culture in general, meant as a overall covering clarification for my artistic motivation. A kind of timeless blog, a personal study, and a multi-connected web of articles, constantly under construction, being reshaped and expanding. Press a blue word and start your trip.

Go to English table of contents.

I’ve made a few subdirectories:

List of my instruments

List of artists I’ve built instruments for + 2^nd list of interesting bands

List of experimental instruments built by other inventors

Il y a un petite section en français, visit la table des matieres des articles français.
