Notes
• Artist description on IUMA: “Since age 12, cameleo manic beat has always been fascinated by the intricate complexity of synthesizer-made music, and even more by the power of a well programmed delay heard thru a stereo helmet. Even though his first music ‘love’ were Jean-Michel Jarre first two albums or his EP copy of ‘Radioactivity’ by Kraftwerk, cameleo manic beat is now deep into psychedelic Trance (or Goa) and still seeking his way in ethno-techno. A long story of keyboards it has been since his teenage years. From Electronic organs, to digital pianos, with some synths in the middle (Roland and korg, both sold to buy a piano ten years ago to learn the real hard touch), the new millenium outcome of it is now only a computer, some virtual synths (softs) and a very much appreciated NOVA (and the piano to compose…). cameleo manic beat spent Y2K new year’s eve alone among furious ravers at a Paris event featuring Total Eclipse (his favorite band) and promised to himself that one day (and not so far, hopefully), he’ll be the one behind the DAT, the laptop, the drumpad, and all the analog wonders…”
