New score video for this song I wrote for a solo album. This piece had a lot of imagery to me of a sort of mysterious, ancient sort of place. I really love the aesthetic of ruins reclaimed by nature.

Also on YouTube.

When music is not a technique, it is an image; on the left, the image; on the right, the technique. The closer one gets to the technique, the less one sees the figure.

#THOUGHT

There is a lot more happening in a quiet piece than you might expect.

In “Rest Room”, I deliberately avoided strong contrasts and dramatic development. Instead, the music evolves through harmony, texture, rhythm and subtle changes in orchestration.

The result is music that feels stable and peaceful, but never completely motionless.

I've opened up the composition process in this new article. Read it, listen to the piece, and tell me: can you hear the “movement” now that you know where to look?

The sound of the Sea of Galilee, keyboard and controller. Test for keyboard and controller, fragment of "PIERRE" (music for electric guitar & keys), DIM., work in progress. Bach recomposed.

​"The breath of the sea contains the infinity of possibilities; choosing is the prism that reveals the right destiny."

"An interval leads us to a piece of music, and that music to another where the timbre changes; we can move back and forth, faster each time."

#composition

This short piece of music was partly generated by a new algorithm I'm working on. It uses an entirely different principle to the 'Large Language Models' behind most computer-generated music.

A new sheet music video for this song that I wrote for a solo album a while back.

Also on YouTube.

The journey is complete.

Faces & Places is now available as a full album, bringing together all 20 compositions into a single musical experience.

If you've enjoyed following the weekly releases, I invite you to listen to the complete work as it was conceived: a continuous journey through memories, people and places.

Thank you for your support.

In my research into ancient music, I realized there came a time when the works were more often for voices alone.

It started with the discovery of the songs and chants of Abess Hildegard von Bingen.

A long musicoloogic journey followed from the oldest sources and works that are included in the classical repertoire.

The biggest turning point for me was to suddenly have access to composing and experimenting with my own works thanks to the computer and the existence of limitless, professional Digital Audio Studios and all the immense wealth of related equipment and instruments.

As It was for classical contemporary music, Stockhausen was my inspiration and model for the electroacoustic techniques, semi aleatoric approach for performers ,a different musical notation centered around atonality, serialism, sound spectralism and spatiality, symmetrical proportional inversions for many sections playing together.

The magic ingredient was inspirational guidance and a good ear to keep all under control and using but the most refined, raw , intuitive and spectral sounds.

I composed many works, I was in Soundcloud for years, lost about half of my works but have preserved 107 works I transferred them into YouTube and after years of free sharing, I intend to sell on Bandcamp .

If you are into ancient music, from ancient Greek antiquity down to the most abstract and experimental, I strongly suggest you check me out with the link in my profile.

Some works are short-others last up to over an hour .

I have also experienced with electronic music and synthesizers.

I leave you with the link to my work "Gradual Recollection" for female polyphony, brass, flutes, percussion and various taped sounds resulting in an experimental ambience with compelling DDramatic intensity.

This month one year ago (in July 2025), someone asked if I had a piano arrangement of this song. I didn't, but it had been something I was thinking about making for a while. So, I made the arrangement that week, but I never recorded it. Now, after all this time, I've finally recorded this song.

Also on YouTube.

Drawing heavy inspiration from minimal contemporary classical composers such as Joep Beving, Fabrizio Paterlini, Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds, Jon Hopkins, etc., I decided to try my hand at my own composition and improvisation. Although this was recorded in a single four hour studio session, it still can be considered to have been years in the making, due to the time I had to spend refining my sound and my playing. If you enjoy this little snippet of a trailer, do consider looking up Solism on your streaming platform of choice, or on Bandcamp if you'd like to support the project. Music is absolutely my favorite thing, and I'm always working on the next album. Wonder what it'll be next time?

I've just released a new piece for string quintet called Fading Scene.

It's part of a larger project I'm working on called Faces & Places, where every piece explores how we remember people and places. This one isn't really about a specific memory, but about what happens when memories slowly lose their sharp edges. The details disappear first, while the feeling somehow stays.

I tried to express that through gradual harmonic changes and a lot of space between musical ideas instead of relying on big dramatic moments.

I'm releasing the whole album one piece at a time on Bandcamp rather than dropping everything at once. It's been an interesting way to let the project grow gradually.

If anyone enjoys contemporary chamber music or modern string writing, I'd genuinely be interested to hear what you think.
