Childe Grangier is a french artist based in Switzerland who is producing electronic and experimental music
under the names of Hopen and Starting Teeth.
Using architectures of hazard and chance, influenced by sounds, daily noises and music experimentation
from Dub to Zappa, Autechre, Luc Ferrari, Subrosa label or Capillary Action.
A lot of his interest is coming from movies or painting, story telling, poetry, reading or living theater...
The idea is to produce and share a moment, a journey into different approaches of sound.

On many Labels like Creaked, Automation Recs, Arbouse, Mental Groove, Leep, Corso Fleuri Editions, Everest, Plak, Audioactivity...
