Alain Monod was born in March 1959 in Fribourg, Switzerland. At the age of 7, he started to study piano at the conservatory of Fribourg. When he was 14, he stopped playing piano and started to play guitar in rock bands. After a failed career as an aircraft pilot, he co-founded the band TB with whom he recorded a 7". He was not pleased by the sound and started to record a solo 12" when TB disbanded, this record was self-produced. In the mid '80s, he started to research new instruments like the sampler. In 1988, he joined The Young Gods as their driver. He was promoted within the same tour to their front of house sound engineer and, in 1989, became the keyboard player. A successful solo career as Al Comet followed and, in 1994, he moved to New York with The Young Gods. There he also started to play sitar.
