Yann Even Fab Academy 2016

About Me:

Hello, My name is Yann Even, i'm 46, I live in Ajaccio (Corsica) France.
I have always been interested in technology, my dad was an electronics technician and I grew up in the workshop in the middle of tubes amp and opened TV.
When I was 8 or 10 years old, I won my pocket money working with him, collecting parts from old devices.
I often burnt my fingers with the "Weller"... But I learnt a lot !

A few years later (maybe 1983), opening my christmas gift, I unboxed a Sanyo PHC25 : 4 Mhz, 16K RAM, 8 colors. Waouh !!!
There's the begining of a long story between computers and me.


Later, I graduated electronic bachelor degree and master of sound engineering at "Ecole Nationale Louis Lumiere ".
My first work experience was at IRCAM for 5 years and it was awesome.
I met musicians, engineers, programmers, acousticians, crazy people, Pierre Boulez, and a certain Miller Puckette , creator of Max MSP.



After that, I worked for 25 years in performing art as Sound engineer, Light creator, Stage manager and Stage designer.
I began working with concerts and music live, now i essentially work with and for theater.
Currently, I'm the Stage manager of a theatre in Ajaccio: l'Aghja.



All these years, I have always enjoyed to make things by myself; when I visited the FabLab the first time, it was like a dream.
