202project is the one man band of JP Marsal since 1996. JP (born in 1974 in Bastia Corsica) started music in 1993 in the city of Lyon in France close to the Noise rock scene of the 90's (deity Guns Condense, De ku Dilarth). He was one of those kids who starts a band without ever having touched an instrument.. He quicky moved to saint-etienne to study art and found in this town the opportunities to experiment much more than in Lyon at that time. He started music, painting and short film productions .. after a while he chose music as his major way of expression.. Influenced by the rock noisy scene of the 90's (the ex,sonic youth,shellac,man or astroman) but also delta Blues,(robert jonshon, blind jefferson,josh with) shamanique ceremony, african root's music (konono), NYC minimal scene of the 60's(la monte young,eliane radigue),
Electronique and Krautrock (can, Neu, Faust.Kraftwerk, Suicide). He quikly started bands and projects, playing the guitar but also keyboard and drums.....
He has been working with a computer since 2004.....
He developed his own language mixing blues, electronic and experimentations in every directions but at the same time went in the same way. a wall of sound. The first 202project LP was out on Tool Box records in 2003, In 2005 he joined the tean briefcaserockers (L.A.) then he gave them something 6 records.. at this time JP has produced more than 250 songs including solo records, bands and collabs.
