A message from Troy

Bonjour mes amis,
Juste quelques mots pour vous dire que j'ai commencé à mixer de la musique pour des artistes et des groupes cette année. J'adore chaque minute et j'ai trouvé ma nouvelle passion.
Si vous aimez le "son du groupe Chokebore" ou le "son lo-fi de TvB", nous devrions parler.
Je peux ajouter des instruments, des idées et des mixages qui sonnent bien. Nous pouvons travailler ensemble pour rendre votre musique intéressante, intense et belle.
Si vous avez un projet qui a besoin d'un excellent mixage, n'hésitez pas à me contacter.

I can add instruments, ideas, and great sounding mixes. We can work together to make your music interesting, intense, and beautiful.

New book
Here is a message from Troy about it:
To all my French/English speaking friends, I’m happy to announce that I made a new book for you. It’s called “Caution! Poison Snake! No Entry!”
This book is special because it features the drawings of James Kroll (Bass of Chokebore) and preface + photos by Mathias Malzieu (Singer of Dionysos/Author/Film maker)
It’s a fun and intense book of short stories, flash fiction, and warped lyrics.
The book is in French and English (I’m super happy about this).
“Caution! Poison Snake! No Entry!” will be in the shops in France on April 1st but you can buy it now from Eidola Editions right here.
You can visit him this weekend at the comic festival in Angoulême: he'll be signing his book and play some songs / read.
Production
TvB recently produced a 5 song EP for an artist named “Encre Amer” from Paris where he played instruments, did the production, and mixed the EP. It is “A TvB Production”!
He really enjoyed producing another artist and want to do it much more.
