He begins to turn to composition and arrangement as an autodidact, listening to and analyzing the slightest note, the slightest sound, while training alongside computer musical composition techniques and seeking to obtain the most realistic instrument timbres. possible by sound mixtures, both for rock compositions and for symphony orchestra.

Ces dernières expériences marquent un point de départ à un rêve longtemps caressé, à savoir créer des musiques de film, de jeux vidéo et des projets audiovisuels, pour laisser librement place à ma créativité... et hop ! C’est ce à quoi j’aspire à présent.

La palette de compétences développée tout au long de ce parcours me permet de vous accompagner avec enthousiasme et professionnalisme dans vos différents projets avec toujours le désir de construire ensemble...
