This instrumental piece is painting this feeling you get when you close the chapter of your day to enter the special realm of evening, like a blurry door to the vibe of the night. This is the first of a weekly series of new music I will be posting on this page and on Soulbow.com - with exclusive content and free downloads to come. I would love to hear your comments and what this music triggers in you!

Tyrian Dance

This song, at the cross road between electro tango and cuban habanera, came as a passionate live improvisation on electric violins. It was initially released as a quick demo some time ago and was very warmly received when played live. This convinced me to do a full recording and production of this track in studio using both acoustic and electric strings.

Tyran Dance (Acoustic Mix)

I wrote this music in February 2020 after the Australian bushfires tragedy, putting the song on hold for a while when the pandemic started. I finally decided to record it and release it, as the track took a wider meaning for me as the year progressed.

Classical piece for piano and strings.
Music composed by Francois Mathian.
Piano performed by Lena Matienko.

Survivors

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

Space Troll's Workshop

Electric Violin meets Deep House in this anthemic motivational track dedicated to living your passion. The arrangement leans towards deep house with a twist, using various electric violins as main instruments and sound design materials, to create a brighter emotional vibe.

Live Your Love

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.
