Biography

Born in Lille, France, I studied music and violin at the Lille Conservatory, training in classical music, jazz, and Irish music. I later specialized in jazz, improvisation, and film scoring at the Tours Conservatory and Jazz à Tours.

​

Primarily a violinist and singer, I also play the quinton d’amour -a five-string violin with six sympathetic strings- as well as guitar, piano, and mandolin. I enjoy writing for these instruments, recording them by myself, and combining them with virtual instruments and textures.

​

My musical affinities lie in songwriting, folk music, vocal harmonies, Irish music, jazz, and improvisation. For L'Écho, I wrote a baroque pop song featuring bass, drums, synthesizers, and layered vocal harmonies. For A Page of Madness, the piece L'Impasse du Mystère, scored for mandolin, harp, alto flute, and quinton d'amour, reflects the delicate interplay of shadow and light that often inspires my work. While these musical traditions remain at the heart of my writing, I am always eager to explore new sonic identities. This has led me to create a synthwave score for L'IA & Moi, a lo-fi soundtrack for Bagage, an experimental noise soundtrack for HYSTERA, and a song inspired by Colombian traditional music for La Cantadora.

​​

I grew up immersed in the fantastical and melancholic worlds of Tim Burton (Big Fish, Corpse Bride, Edward Scissorhands), the films of Wes Anderson (Moonrise Kingdom, Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Grand Budapest Hotel), and stop-motion animation (Coraline, Chicken Run, Wallace & Gromit). More recently, I have been inspired by the comedies of Taika Waititi, the films of Yorgos Lanthimos, and the utopian, futuristic animation of Ugo Bienvenu (Arco).

I am particularly drawn to works that offer a poelitical perspective - where poetry and politics intertwine - to explore the world and human relationships, often existing outside the conventions of mainstream cinema. I aspire to compose for fiction films - especially dramedies, surrealist narratives, and genre cinema - as well as for animation (2D, stop-motion, collage), documentaries (including docufiction and archive-based films), and video games.

​

Alongside my work for film, I take part in the bands L’Heure Bleue (folk songs and poetry) and Ghillie’s (Irish traditional music), for whom I have created several albums, compositions, and arrangements. I have also composed for the performing arts, including theatre, dance productions, and musical storytelling performances.
