About
Hey. My name is Marc and I am a 26 years-old PhD student from Nancy, North-Eastern France. One thing I have to acknowledge is that I'm not very good at talking about my music.
The project started in summer 2005, when I decided to compose pieces of music on my own, after having been evicted from my former band, the year before. Originally, I did not intend to produce anything formalised, such as albums: the only goal was to enjoy playing music again.
Thus, I bought an audio controller, so that I would be able to hear the music I was producing. After a while, some friends lent an ear to what I had recorded, and convinced me to give the whole thing a new direction, and that was when I decided to record albums and stuff. I named this project No Opera after a track by Chris Cole's Manyfingers.
So, I started releasing things, mainly through free-of-charges downloads. Two long plays and two extended plays have been released so far. In the beginning of 2009 I aslo acquired the electronic equipment required to perform my music live, and rewrote most of the songs in a gig-oriented way.
Also, I want to say that this whole project must not be regarded as professional. I am not a professional recording artist, nor a professional recording engineer, and I have absolutely no intention to ever become the former or the latter. I am not interested in promoting this music to the largest possible audience, or in performing it live except under exceptional conditions (living-rooms are the best). So please, keep your money and your time to support people who still dream to live thanks to music.

Hello.
Violence est un nouvel EP de 4 titres. Il dure 25 minutes. Cliquez sur l’image pour accéder à la page de téléchargement.
Il s’agit de chansons qui auraient dû figurer sur un troisième LP, que je n’ai jamais réussi à enregistrer en raison de difficultés techniques successives. Aujourd’hui que ces problèmes sont surmontés, je préfère me concentrer sur de nouvelles choses et privilégier de nouveaux projets.
Ce blog est censé être un espace temporaire, le temps que la refonte du site prenne forme. D’autre part, MySpace n’autorise plus les liens directs vers les sites de téléchargement, c’est pourquoi il est possible que vous ayez été redirigé ici.

It consists in what remains of what should have been my third long play. I tried to record it for three years, and I’ve been through a lot issues, mainly because of reluctant devices.
Today, those issues have been overcome but in the same time, I’m not very interested in working on that old stuff anymore. I’d rather start a brand new project.
This blog is supposed to be a temporary residence. The main domain (noopera.com) will remain closed for some time, until I figure out what to do about it. Also MySpace won’t allow me to link the download directly on their site so this is why you may have been redirected.
