Un mélange de nostalgie et de passion pour la musique, j'avais un thème de ce jeu d'enfance qui me trottait en tête et je me disais; pourquoi ne pas transformer cette petite chanson 8-bits en version orchestrale? Et voilà!

Pokémon - Route 4 - Orchestral Version)

Back in 2011, I was looking to create something different, something with a bit of nostalgy and melancholy. One evening, I rented the movie "River's Edge", and after a few minutes in, came the movie's theme song. Inspiration struck me instantly as I paused the movie and rushed to my computer and wrote this song : it was the sound I was looking for. I, however, owe a part of the credits to this soundtrack's composer.

And I never finished the movie.

Melancholy (Dark/Melancholic Theme)

I dedicate this song to peace, love and harmony between every living being.

Musically, I focused on a simplistic approach where light and serene emotions thrive, giving place to peaceful melodies reminding us of a mother's touch...

A breath of truce and light for our world in suffering...

Breath Of Truce [Peaceful Orchestral]

I'm going back to the tribal and exotic sounds, in a mysterious or rather dark environment... Feel the vibe of the bewitching melodies, the unexpected rhythms and the peculiar ambiance of this brand new song!

Cure, A Diablo II Tribute (2016)[Dark Orchestral]

Sit comfortably and with your best headphones or speakers as I present to you “Turning the Tide”, my very first Cinematic Suite ever finished.
It is an instrumental soundtrack which evokes a story, musically and that will make you delve you into many different moods.
Starting with a light theme that slowly progresses towards more depth and punch that then navigates between serenity and peacefulness then evolves into unsettling dissonance that plunges into dark, still and lifeless waters.
After this obscure period, you will be thrown back towards a new rhythmical and mighty theme with an oriental hint that will eventually bring hope and elevate you.
Afterwards, it would be wise to come back to reality.
