Hello there !
My name is Antonin “LV” Gaultier (aka Digiki). I was born in Paris, France but I am now living in Tokyo.
I always find it quite hard to sum up what I’m doing, so very simply:
my two main activities are finding ideas and creating music. I have no plans to choose between one or the other, and I think that’s what makes things interesting.
I am a freelance consultant for companies in Tokyo. My speciality is marketing strategy and branding, and I usually work at a top management / CEO level, trying to figure out what the next big thing is and how to get there. I work on a per-project basis, so my clients have been very different (from industrial products to B2B services to consumer goods). It’s always a different problem with specific solutions.
Other than being a marketing terrorist I’ve been doing music for the past 6 years under the name Digiki. I am playing what some have called a blend of pop and experimentalism, but you’ll be the judge, give it a try. My new album is called Beat vacation, and will be release in April 2007 on Tokyo Fun Party, a new label where I’m acting as A&R. I’m also producing music for others and I select beats & pieces for my podcast, Polypunk. Subscribe ! My monthly party in Tokyo is Juliana, 7-11 p.m. on Sundays at Soft, in Shibuya.
A few things I believe:
context matters
presentation/design matters
everybody makes mistake at some point
interactions and relationships are super important
marketing is a toolbox, not a philosophy
we keep learning everyday
I try to keep my eyes open on many topics, from cooking to VC, usability to entrepreneurship, art, fashion… everything really. I’m open to consulting offers and new ventures, business and/or art projects taking place in any region or online. Don’t be shy, I try to answer all e-mails.
My blog +digi nikki+ could be found here.
My record label website is here.
Listen to my music on Myspace.
Find me on Mixi, Myspace, LinkedIn
Buy my music on iTunes store, Napster, Beatport, Amazon and at HMV and Tower (in Japan).
And of course feel free to mail me !
