"Agar-Agar" is a Belgian electro-analog solo act. His sound is mostly shaped by everyday life's constraints such as eternal recording and rehearsal studio vagabondage, dealing with hard-to-deal-with drummers and a very pronounced gear acquisition syndrome. Driven by a thirst to create despite these limitations, Agar-Agar is usually relying on his trusty old (and not so old) machines and instruments to produce something 'not so electronic' as some might think when presented with this kind of line-up. Not an easy shift! It took him years to gradually abandon the 'power-trio' approach and become more and more independent and self-sufficient. So truly: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
