About GVK
Then it was obtaining my first electric guitar, the musical evolution went towards what we listened to...punk American (Minor Threat, Fugazi...), rock noisy (Sonic Youth, Shellac, Condense), metal, industrial (Ministry), experimental music (John Zorn), as well as tekno. Step by step the Lombric formation came in to beginning in 1997 in Lille, a mixture of glam rock, noisy and French song. Several scenes enabled us to point out ourselves and to be reproduced on a compilation "Rock en Nord", recorded in studio 24 numerical tracks, thus we profit from a good promotional support. It is also the period of the acquisition of my first computer... Amiga. In 1998, the group decides to move in Toulouse. Gradually it evolves to experimental atmospheres, based on loops, recordings, on real time... For me Toulouse represented an active scene in the electro alternative. Raving in free parties since already a few years and developing the taste of electronic music, it is thus in parallel with the last "happenings" of the group. Next i acquired the first turntable, and I started to mix. All these activities obliged us to create a first squat, "La boucle", a place of repetition, of mix, of music with computers (at the time very modest). I participated then in some performances combining ambient music and experimental theatre.. A decision of justice rehoused us in a bigger place, "the ranch" situated in Sesquières. It was a basis of work for the realization of first pieces on computers (acquisition of the first PC), but also the place of concerts and evenings. It became then a place of reception and meetings for many artists. The first own-produced disc was born at the end of 2000 (Martel en Tête EP - GVK) thus preceding the launching of the label "Martel In Tête", with the release of the second disc in July 2001 (Burning Rom - GVK). The influences go from the tekno hardcore, like Nasenbleuten or Dj Producer, to the dark ambient while passing by the electronica of Lusine ICL, the darkhop of Scorn, the hardjungle (Cyclo recs), the breakcore (CFringelli and Venetian Snares in particular). Tracks are releasaed in the tread on other labels: Kor à Kor and Vdz Break. A removal in Castres following the eviction of the place launched a period of collaborations with drum'n'bass' artists of the area like VDZ break (Alif sound system) and dj Gravebongaz, thus the association Missing Link and the first vinyl (Split gvk/vdz brk). were born. It is also the period when I played my first sets lives out of South of France - the Pyrénées (Limoges, Aurillac, Rennes, Paris - Batofar) then out of France (London). It is this period which - Bec bunzène- evokes an CD live recorded album. Return in Toulouse at the beginning of 2003 to reinforce the action of Martel in tête. It is also the end of squats period. Next a tour of eight dates in Italy, with the Trolls, dj Fuel in Sekt and Nevroz was set up several events in production and coproduction in various clubs of the area, as well as an organisation of parties in one club in Toulouse. Progressively i played abroad: in Brussels, in Barcelona, then the various projects as the "troll hostile contaminé" are produced by Homicide which is Split of 3 artists. I had some dates in Brittany and my program on the radio "Kontradiction" on FMR. I received a formation of format-sound in 2004. Thanks to the meetings generated by all these events a compilation Musica Domani is born with gathering senior artists of the alternate electronic scene and "young" talents of the vintage. 2005, my music is exported out of the frontiers thanks to a tour in Belgium and in Holland (of which one on M.S.Stubnitz in Rotterdam - a boat manufactures transformed into travelling concert hall). One party in Prague, in Brussels, as well as in different French cities (Toulouse, Nantes, Dunkirk) and as part of a tour with Bong-Ra in Paris, Bordeaux and Montpellier. Without forgetting the exit of a piece on Deadlock 01 with the Wirebug, Elisa, Yann' post office account hekate. 2006 a LP Power versus Power is born, a hardcore label based in Amsterdam. My music will be present on various compilations (Rest in Pieces of Bordeaux, Hypogé of Brussels, Panic Sauce of Prague). The first album is in preparation.
