You are a well-educated and rather wealthy Canadian, with a passion for electronics; since childhood, you've studied piano and enjoyed playing with the computer. Gradually, you acquire everything you need to make electronic music, you practice, and over time you become skilled, eventually becoming a sort of Ableton demigod. You handle almost any subgenre effortlessly, yet you develop a preference for Breakcore and Raggacore (an excellent album of his in this direction: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). You circulate your work on the internet under dozens of monikers (characterizing yourself as "furry"), spreading material of good to excellent quality left and right for about a decade.
Then you get bored.
No, it's not true, you don't get bored. But sometimes you feel the need to take a break, right? It's not always fun to create a track thinking, "This will be a random-core track!", not always: sometimes there's a temptation to break free from constraints, especially when you have the ability to do practically anything. Having freedom also involves having the option to abuse it... and here it is: under "Renard" (just one of the 798 possible names), one day the guy decides to compose without inhibitions. Without any barriers, freely, throwing into the pot all the ideas that until then seemed too idiotic (a small example: a handful of short sonatas for Gameboy Color). Needless to say, it turns out to be the most interesting album... full of samples, obviously, with extremely varied, eclectic tracks, perhaps very chaotic but at least remarkable in their independence from anything else, at least for me. Sections floating in the air, random, inconsistent, but original.
