Betrayal

Valve-Strength of the roots

HYPNOTICA

Si tu crois que ça va mal
Et que rien n'est bon
Vas y, Sors de l'ombre

Refrain
(Il y a toujours une lumières )
Crois en des jours meilleurs
(Il y a toujours une lumières) 
Elle est là
(Il y a toujours une lumières) 
Regarde

Couplet
Sinon, où iras-tu ?
(Sans raison d'espérer)
Y a rien à raconter 

Refrain
(Il y a toujours une lumières )
Crois en des jours meilleurs
(Il y a toujours une lumières) 
Elle est là
(Il y a toujours une lumières) 
Regarde

Couplet
(Elle est là)
Regarde
(Regarde)

Refrain
Regarde, à la frontière
(Il y a toujours une lumières) 
Elle est là
(Il y a toujours une lumières )
Regarde

The Bechstein Tapes is a collection of drifting, emotive piano pieces, played on my 111 years old Bechstein piano, which I always refer to as 'Mme Bechstein' - A gentle conversation with her, creating an intimate miniature in mood.

Enjoy. 🙏 Sebastian

Deliverance (epic orchestral version)

This electronic track is my first project part of an online electronic music production workshop I'm following with Andrew Huang.

- Only using free instruments and samples
- My first project with Ableton Live (demo version)
- One of the rare tracks I've done without recording any violin ;-)

Mysterious Island

This electronic track is my second weekly project part of an online electronic music production workshop I'm following this month. 

For this track the challenge was to create a track using mainly sounds recorded from my kitchen - except for the bass (808 synthesised using Helm Synth) and the arp pluck sound in the middle (using Sculpture from Logic).

Software used:
- Logic Pro for recording and editing (using the Flex mode)
- Native Instrument Kontakt and Battery samplers
- Paul Stretch for more extreme sound stretching
- Sculpture synth
- Helm synth

Thank you for reaching my profile. On this platform you will find my older catalogue of songs. For more recent updates please visit soulbow.com!

I'm a contemporary violinist, composer and music producer. After a classical training, I toured and recorded as a jazz and rock violinist for several years in multiple French bands, then moved to Australia to release my own music. 

On this page you will find music I'm passionate about, both improvised and written, where solo instruments can shine, in particular strings - from acoustic violins to electric cellos. I like to fuse these organic instruments with electronic influences to create a captivating experience and tell a story through each song, leaving a space for improvisation in my creation process.

I also compose and record music for soundtracks and commercials.
