Larsp composes experimental electronic music. In 2002. His first project under the name of PUPPET LE CURE, sounds like hard-techno vs. melodic orchestra, and an EP was signed by independent label CWK in 2002.

His solo project under LARSP was launched in 2005. It follows a radically different approach from Puppet le curé. Larsp has moved away from techno to shift from experimental ambient to melancholic breakcore. The project is based on the atmospheres rather than dance floor, half-way between darkly oppressing sounds and slow rhythmic destructuring.

« I just remember the album was a serious joke. A joke because originally I wanted to criticize the stereotypes of « french cold wave » (« grey » being the cliché of cold wave). But it was then a serious project as art surrounded the joke to create & experiment my own anti-formula. Slap bass is generally « cool » or quite « fun » music. My will was to make sad and chill the « funk » technique for instance. The title was a deconstruction about the « grey » stereotype in cold wave. I tried to use and deform the cold aesthetic to find my own, thanks to a mix of toy synthesizers and chill basses. »
