Who is Olivier ? :

Olivier
Guitarist / 2nd voice, born on 26th may 1982
 

Story

I started to interrest myself in music when I was very small (around 7/8 years), by studying musical theory and by playing several years of alto violin. When I was 13/14, I was not interrested by violin anymore, perhpas due to the music academy methods which requires too much work, and which is not adapted to my personality :)

Then I started to play on the traditional guitar of my brother, but I really began electric guitar on my arrival to the high school.

Influences

The first things I played the guitar, like many people, was Nirvana, some simple tricks of Smashing Pumpkins, and also some Foo Fighters, RATM or Offspring. I discovered Metallica thanks to Miguel in high school, and other bands like Pantera, Machine Head, Korn, thanks to another friend who will recognize himself.

For a few years I explored symphonic metal (Nightwish, Sonata Artica, Therion, ...), I discovered (20 years late) Iron Maiden, some "Guitar Heroes" (not Bruno), and also bands like System Of A Down and Rammstein. Recently, I tried Children Of Bodom, In Flames, Soilwork thanks to Bruno, and I can say that they rocks. Currently I also listen to Kalmah, thanks to Serpilliere (a friend).

More about me

I am the webmaster of this site, and you can contact me if you encounter any problem with it. In my life, I do computer sciences.

I am sensitized to the problems of the royalties, DRM, patents (not only in the musical point of vue), and I'm the one who conviced the band to publish our musics under free licenses.
