"Music oft hath such a charm To make bad good, and good provoke to harm."
William SHAKESPEARE
Passionate about cinema and after a solid curriculum of piano, musical writing and direction at the conservatory, I write my first scores for short films. In parallel, I compose for the theater with which I maintain a very particular report. I attach great importance to the place of music in the different media with which I work, be they audiovisual, theatrical, pictorial ... A music to the image must never forget that it is according to a support first. This does not mean that it is an importance or a narrower place, but this music must, on the other hand, be systematically stranded in the visual material. It is this idea of summarizing that I am trying to deal in my work because I am convinced that it is not what he was placed in the last place of the image that was married. I am also particularly interested in the relationship between music and time, fierce that my music breathes in a sort of suspended temporality. As far as style is concerned, my music has become an almost systematic link with the world of the orchestra, that's why I've focused on the organic sound material that I'm trying to learn through a rigorous choice of instrumentation. I see music called "classical" as a wealth of heritage, his knowledge allows him to stand out or to get closer. I think it is necessary to understand these codes in order to use them wisely. To that, I sometimes appreciate to confuse myself and to feed myself with newer sounds, from the world of electronics.
