...passionate for music on synthesizer, popularized by Jean-Michel Jarre or Vangelis, he tried his hand at composition on a little « synth », then attended several lessons in order to improve himself: piano to get used with the keyboard technique and electroacoustic music with Annette Van de Gorne to acquire all the particularities of it. Since mid-90's, he has continuously bought electronic material (synthes, consoles, sequence softwares, sound-processing softwares...) and learned his operating mode in order to progressively master all their resources. The development of Internet and MP3 technique also allowed him to exchange information, competence, sounds, critics, etc... with other musicians worldwide!

In his pieces of work, Eric BETTENS tries to develop a subtle balance between acoustic and electronic instruments by also integrating sounds from nature. This personal approach earned him, as soon as 2001, many encouragements and advice by Luc Baiwir, the well-known composer from Liège.
