WHO ARE YOU ?
Fred Lefranc, Sound engineer, Mixer and Producer.
WHAT'S YOU "CAREER" ?
I left the general school pretty early to learn guitar making & lutherie,
After getting graduated, i went at the S.A.E Institue (School of Audio Engineering) from Paris and ended Major of the year, i agree it sounds snob but i'm quite proud of it so ...
Then it's meeting people.
ANALOG OR DIGITAL ?
Ahahah, the eternal war ! We could talk about it for hours !
Let say that my vote goes to digital for handy and economical reasons, on the other hand the analog world is full of wonderful things, and generally i go on what the budget and the band is up to.
I'm focusing much more on the result than on the medium.
Woven Hands - Mozaic
Placebo - Meds
Mintzkov - 360°
Ghinzu - Mirror Mirror
Brigitte Fontaine
- Prohibition
Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Placebo - Placebo
16 Horsepower - Folklore
Shannon Wright - Died In The Wool
Alain Bashung - L'Imprudence
Nirvana - Nevermind
Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
Metallica - Black Album
How that i put too much ?! i've got plenty to ad !
These are too very different things that are very supplementary,
i can't imagine choosing one without the other.
The very first thing to do is of course to contact me to talk about it.
I'm opened to every projects, let's have a drink together !
First thing is to go on the discography page,
Then, if you want more information about anything contact me, i'll answer with pleasure.
Music stays music. As long as there's sincerity's intensity anything can be great.
Beyond that, i'm listening a lot of "Sad Folk" (16 Horsepower, Luther Wright, Woven Hands, ...), Rock
(Placebo, Marilyn Manson, Ghinzu, dEUS, Noir Désir, Shannon Wright, ...), Songwriters (Ane Brun, Kristin Hersch, ...), "French music" (Alain Bashung, Brigitte Fontaine, Miossec, ...) and Jazz (Miles Davis, Jacques Thollot, Fred Frith, ...).
All these are of course only informative and not restrictive AT ALL !
