A P P R O A C H
I compose on a computer, mainly based on instrumental sounds.
My music is alternative (free of any kind of technical or predefined language). Electronic treatments, virtual or real instruments, field recording are mixed on works of expressionist style.
On my works there are very few ruptures, the music evolve by micro variations, as a continuum...as in the real world:
tension accumulations, loss of sense, complexity increase, anxiety or relaxations.
I work guided by the feeling created on myself by the sounds and also by my background of contemporary music listener, on all their diversity
(electro-acoustic, experimental, repetitive, serial music, minimalism, spectral, micro-tonal, noise but also progressive rock, opera, romantic music).
The electro-acoustic work allow me to reinforce some sensitive characteristics, but I don't want to loose the "context", to forget the original source of the sound.
On my work there are two directions:
The works I call «technical»: Here only the work "on the sound material" is important.
Other pieces are more « significant »: The theme is here the trigger of the work, and the technics have to "serve" this theme
Indeed, some pieces can associate or work through several musical styles (minimalism, electro-acoustic, noise, for example)
