OVX016 : Christophe  Petchanatz / Vexations Vol.16

What Christophe says about his proposal:

"Erik Satie was probably one of the most founding composers for my approach to music, between classical and modern, humor but dignity, and an incredible sense of melody. It was also listening to Satie that allowed me to go from rock'n'roll to classical as a listener.
Moreover we had a fairly close project with Denis Tagu from the In-Poly-Sons label, which we had discussed this summer.

As for the method, as I often work in small parts, trying and errors, adding, removing, a bit like cooking (except that it is difficult to remove when cooking!)"
