- 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 ;-)

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.
