Alexandre finished his formal education shaking hands with Paul McCartney in Liverpool. Infected by the raw Energy of this place he started his unique journey between music and art: musically socialized by BBC Radio Merseyside legend Roger Hill, he jammed with Pop Levi on the anniversary of John Coltrane's death, lived in John Lennon's former shared flat, and played in almost all of Liverpool's venues, pubs and bars. He presented sound art with Documenta artist Imogen Stidworthy and the legendary Owl Project, learnt how to listen with the acoustic ecologist Phil Morton, about experimental music over a pint with Philip Jeck, and about computer music while having a curry with Kim Cascone.
