How did you find buzz?
I was working for some french paper computer magazine, writing articles and mainly making the free cd provided with the magazine.
Every month I had to choose about 100 freewares, sharewares or commercial demos and make a snaphshot and a short comment for each of it. I found Buzz on Internet but I dont remember where exactly. Maybe something like Download.com or freeware.com.

Before using Buzz, I didnt make music. I liked a lot music, I'm a real music lover, but was more involved in Graphics.
I have had an accoustic guitar, but didnt learn music or to play music with it. I just knew two or three songs learned from some friends. I used my guitar mainly to be cool with girls, if you see what I mean ;)
Anyway, I lost my guitar after a few monthes.

For my job I first found a commercial software, Acid, and I tried it and made two songs in one afternoon.
I was proud of what I've done with Acid, I have kept the mp3 of these songs. This was my first contact with music making.
But quickly I understood that making music with loops is very easy but very frustrating because you didnt really "write" the music. That said, I dont mean that making music with samples is bad. By example I'm a fan of Daft Punk for their creativity in sampled music use.

And then I found Buzz. I installed it, made the tutorial bmx, the one with :
"You pressed the Play icon and didn't hear my Tutorial Song?
No wonder! Because you'll write this song!"
writed in the "blah-blah" part of Buzz. I immediately understand the incredible power of Buzz and the infinite possibilities it offers. After ten minutes of use I become a Buzz addict.

Buzz changed my life, really. It offers me a fantastic way of expression and makes me discover the Buzz community.
A great community.

Any major Influences buzz musicians and or Pro artists.
The Buzz musician that influenced me the most is th0ke. He helped me a lot understand Buzz and music.
He is a major influence to me. I dont know what would happen without th0ke.
I guess I am not the only one in this case :)
Also I cant forget people like Shytan, monoton, Tinga and schoeder.
People like Hamster also makes me understand that Buzz can produce high quality level music.
Anyway, every buzzers inspired me, in a way or in another...
So, sorry for those I forget here.

I have many many influences in music.
Of course, first of all, jazz musicians influenced me a lot.
I like jazz when it try to explore some new ways in music, less when it's a "traditionalised" jazz..
Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Archie Shepp, St Germain, Gato Barbieri, Weather Report, Magma (?), Mc Coy Tyner, the acid jazz and electro jazz scene are an inspiration source. And people like Courtney Pine. But there is a lot of other jazz artist I like. Brasilian music is an influence too.

In classical Claude Debussy, Erik Satie, Maurice Ravel, all these "impressionist" musicians influenced me a lot. And also Gustav Mahler. Same for Soundtrack music.
All the electronic music scene influenced me. Drum&Bass, Trip Hop, dark techno and also House music. Same for black music. And rock/pop too. I dont have enough place here to write all the name of artists that influenced me.
In fact, to tell the truth, I like any genre of music if it's good.
Where do you find inspiration?
Good question. Difficult to answer. One of my latest song, "Rendez-vous", was inspired by my job. Every morning I'm on a beach, in south France, and it's a beautiful place. Every morning I see paradise. That influenced me for this song. A song like "Cherry Tree Flower" was inspired by the incoming of the spring and by the trees with flowers. Song like "Never Come Back" was written in a dark time in my life. I guess that my mood is my major source of inspiration. But I have no rules about inspiration... You cant have "inspiration on demand". It cames, it goes...
