David Perraudin and Twin Days
MySpace: www.myspace.com/twin-daysTC Electronic equipment: G-System, Nova Drive, Nova Delay, Nova ModulatorDavid Perraudin has been playing as a pro guitarist for the past 15 years. He has released his first album Racines (Roots) back in 2001, and his second opus Comme Des Loups (Like the Wolves) was released back in 2005. Shortly after the CD was issued, David came to meet for the first time with TC Electronic, during the Salon De La Musique, in Paris 2006. He then stumbled upon the G-System, which was on demonstration, and he literally fell in love with this top piece of gear: "I had to get this new UFO, which for me is the materialization of the best in technology. I have been using it since then, and it is still the number one effect board I turn myself to, in the studio or on the road. Truly the best compliment to my beloved Strat..." Since, David Perraudin has had the opportunity to work with several talented sound engineers (Steve Prestage, Reptile, Damien Schuller...) notably for the production of his last opus, Twin Days, which is about to be released in spring 2010. He and his mates Benoit, Brice and Nicolas have concocted an explosive mixture of several tasty influences like Hendrix, Muse, Van Halen, Living Colour, to name just a few... They are currently rehearsing hard to tour for self promotion during spring and summer 2010. In the meantime, David has founded Concept Prod, a recording studio combined with a rehearsal club including three independent rooms, and a nice stage for live gigs. He is using a pair of Dynaudio Acoustics BM12A as his main near field monitors: "The TC guys were kind enough to let me test the monitors in my personal space. Once again, this was exactly what I was after: something flat and precise, adapted to all the styles I can come to mix. Here, we can easily jump from urban hip-hop to trash metal mixes, hence why a neutral but efficient pair of speakers is a key piece of gear to me." Not entirely satisfied with his numerous activities, David has also created a music school in Tours, France: Guitar Institute. They are about to sign partnership with awarded MAI School of Nancy. A sign of quality and a nice reward for somebody working to only get the best! |
