Entrance of the felted piano, with the strings in the background

All my work is compiled in this playlist. It alternates between slow, ambient soundscapes dominated by synthesizer's arpeggios, and more energic electronica tracks. I use only hardware gear as sound sources (mostly analog). I sometimes blend in some classical instruments, such as acoustic piano, and guitars, as well as field recordings. Enjoy the listening!

Unknown territory: fear and hope mixed together.

This new song originated from the bass line (Korg MS20) and a field recording of my neighbourhood in Amsterdam (you can actually hear birds if your speakers are detailed enough). The main melody, introduced at 1:53 is a felted piano and an iced cold layer of eerie strings. The drum programming followed: I wanted a lot of "air" on the top end, with a precise and contained kick. The rest of the arrangement is made of many layers of synthesisers pads (Juno60, Prophet08), and Moog solo. I hope you will enjoy it :)

I took this picture in the Faroe Islands last summer. A very inspiring place.

Playing my music live at Cacofonix festival 2018 in Normandy / France, in an old barn in front of an awesome crowd. This is the live recording straight out of the DAW (no recording of the crowd / room unfortunately)

I'm a French music producer based in Amsterdam. I compose emotional electronica where vintage synthesisers and drum machines blend with classical instruments. Watch a full live set in my home studio: https://youtu.be/0NIIR8QU8Hk
