    about me
    When I bought my first PC, my intention was to create music in the cheapest way, on my own -- like a one-man-band-in-a-box... So I went on the Internet and got a few freeware music creation tools, and started "creating", at the same time surfing around music label websites checking for inspiration. And what had to happen finally happened : I ended up downloading more perfect songs in a day than I could ever write in a thousand years.
    why i'm a source
    I thought I might add something to MP3 4U, especially as regards wayward/forward-thinking French or European pop that might sound interesting to "international ears"...
