It all started with him. His passion and skills for mechanics and electricity, particularly in the service of sound reproduction, led him to build and operate, at the age of 18, professional equipment (recorder, preamplifiers and amplifier) used for the recording of a first record. From there, it was one thing leading to another, with the creation of the company and numerous projects in a wide variety of musical styles.

André worked for Kudelski on Nagra recorders, and was stage manager at the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne, where he was constantly interested in sound equipment, even though he later moved into aircraft maintenance, both mechanical and electronic, a field in which he also excelled. This second activity took him to Africa for a few years, and he left the company, but his initial impulse has always remained attached to it.
