In 1970, Frank Cochois aka JFC was born into a family (in Darmstadt, near Frankfurt Germany) where music played a vital part in everyday life. JFC is a meticulous producer - nothing which is not 100% perfect will leave his studio "Silent Chamber". This self-imposed requirement seems to stem from his long-term education in classical music. At the age of 16, he founded his first electronic band and experimented with home-made effect-processors. Some years later, as member of Brigade Werther, he jumped on the EBM train and and did freelance compositions for avantgarde theatre plays like „Subtonik“ and „Exploding Faust“ at „Freies Theater“ in Frankfurt. These mutimedia performances earned him enthused reviews. He released five successful and critically acclaimed house albums on the label Plastic City under his pseudonym "The Timewriter": Letters From the Jester (1997), Jigsaw Pieces (1998), Diary of a Lonely Sailor (2002), Paintbox (2005) and Soulstickers (2007). His House style was once labeled as „21st century Soul“ by UK magazine „Muzik“
He produced the JFC album in 1994 but didn’t release it until May 1998 on Mole Listening Pearls (mole010-2) - a timeless ambient collage. |
