"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)

Composer for medias.

“Cette beauté, sombre comme le fer, 
Est de celles que forge et polit l’Enfer.”

Pianiste et compositeur invitant les auditeurs à un voyage à travers des paysages sonores imaginaires.
