Biography

Comprising more than 120 opus, his catalog embraces many forms of musical expression, and makes him one of the most prominent French composers of his generation. Chamber music writing - especially for string instruments - has a special place his work. Born at the western tip of Western Europe, this former student of the Paris Conservatoire was awakened to the tradition by French composer Olivier Greif and continues today his singular path, with among others works inspired by the writers Christian Bobin and Pascal Quignard. He is careful to marry the requirement for lyrical and structured writing and a sincere desire to stay close to the audience and the performers, as a sort of "director" of emotions. Les îles, his last CD was signed in the label Harmonia Mundi. His music is published by Éditions Musicales Artchipel.
