Mirage is a cultural innovator and one of the original Techno pioneers.

Mirage cut his teeth in the 80s making early samples and beats on an Amiga and Roland synthesizers. Mirage was then part of the Amiga Demo Scene creating music and computer animated short intros for fun.

That’s right, Mirage has been there right from the beginning - a true instigator of change.

Mirage made innovative technical choices to produce electronic music.

At the beginning of the 90s Mirage chose a PC (with soundblaster card) to control samplers (Akai S2800) and several synthesisers / effects (Roland, Korg, Boss).

The 90s brought a slew of groundbreaking DJ appearances for Mirage, forging a sound that became what is now recognised as the very first Techno scene. Underground rave parties and killer live sets at clubs in Europe led to radio play and a growing audience.

In the 90s the rave scene was a new artistic stream. Many artists were joining their efforts to create a unique experience for the ravers, not only Music, but Sculptures, decorators, lights, and graphists with the emergence of affordable 3D modelling software, fractal generators etc...

With Graphist's friends, Mirage was one of the first to create VJing (V for Video). Mirage also co-realised "Rave videos reports".

University and international career beckoned. With the growing Techno scene now in the rear view mirror, Mirage lived all over the world - but the creativity never stopped.

Now, under the new name of ‘Mirage de son’ (in English "mirage of sound")he emerges once again to win over new audiences with a truly original and innovative sound. Using virtual synths and samples to create new rhythms and mind warping effects, Mirage will disorientate you, amaze and enthral you. Listen carefully to the music where sounds fades in and out like illusions supported by dynamic beats. Mirage creates Techno, Acid Techno, House, and more.
