There is no actual proof of any cause and effect relationship between this event and my arrival on Earth, nor my being known from my youngest years as a dreamer… “Jean the Moon-Boy” they used to say !
Or there perhaps lies the reason why, in spite of all I’ve accomplished since my birth, nothing has turned out quite as I imagined…
I come from a farming background, close to nature, far from music. And yet at the age of fourteen, I had made my first musical instrument. I even had my own workshop though I never imagined that this might become my future career !Photo Biography 001I was trained by a craftsman’s guild, the “Compagnon du Devoir et du Tour de France” and they gave me a respect for tools, a deep sense of the relationship between materials and craftsmanship and the quest for creativity firmly based on tradition.
