Do you remember “Minimal” ? It was an electronic music work I composed, produced and released a few years ago. Just to remember the sound :

Well, originally, it was a solo piano work, of which a recording was made one day, with the help of the pianist Marilou Nézeys. But it got never published, for many reasons.

Today, I propose a NFT of this rare and unique piano version of “Minimal”. See the great french project for musical NFT called Pianity.com : “Minimal” has been selected on the top list of this project and the drop is planned on January 24, 2023, champagne!

The auction for the Unique Edition will start at 6:00 PM UTC on January 24, 2023 and will last 24 hours. Be ready for that!

I am lucky to be scheduled for 2 concerts in June :

• a concert at the Rachmaninoff conservatory of Paris the 11th of June

• a concert at “l’uzine à Zabu” in Saint-Germain-des-Angles close to Evreux (France) on Saturday June 18, 2022 : http://www.lesamisdelespaceculturel.fr/?page=actualite

My musician friends Thuy Anh Vuong (piano) and Lucile Fauquet (cello) will create 2 new pieces and will of course perform “Papillon” (almost 26 K listenings on Spotify !, listen at https://open.spotify.com/album/34JoxDwgavWOGSWcGJjs5x?si=sTN7-qqySOqyY4epRXNv-Q)

Come many, it will be an opportunity to meet you and talk about music, I will be present at this concert !

The year 2021 on Spotify… Amazing! #SpotifyWrapped #2021ArtistWrapped

Surprised, proud and so happy! “Papillon” (the track n°3 of “face à la Seine” just released) has been added last Friday to the official Spotify playlist “Classical New releases”! A big jump for me and the musicians who carried this music !

Just stunning to be part of an official @spotify playlist. Don’t know who to thank, but just keep going 🙂

Here we are. After a few weeks of back and forth with my distributor imusican, the single “face à la Seine” is on its way to streaming platforms. Phew. On January 14, 2021, you will be able to listen :

• Face à la Seine, music for string quartet, 6’04
• Encore une danse, music for string quartet, 3’44
• Papillon, music for cello & piano, 3’12

In the meantime, I’ve prepared a little video, a teaser like they said, oh nothing too engaging, but just to tell you: great chamber music awaits you, stay tuned! 🙂

Anyway, tell me everything, I’m waiting for your feedback.

Your composer,

During the last years, I spent my tiny available and creative time on writing pieces for string quartet. What a challenge ! I discovered, to my surprise, how much I loved this kind of work : work on the voices, on the response games, on subtle polyphony or demanding counterpoint. Two of them can be shown today, so proud of it ! 😉

A few months ago, I also put the focus on a piece for cello and piano, in a style that is so dear to me, that of Gabriel Fauré. And it’s ready to be shown too.

And now, it’s in the box ! Everything was recorded a few days ago at the studio of Meudon. Thanks to the pianist Thuy Anh Vuong, whom I thank once again, I had the chance to meet four wonderful musicians of great talent, who agreed to be part of the adventure and be my passengers for a while.

A big thank to Lucile Fauquet (cello), Raphaël Jacob and Justina Zajančauskaite (violin), Jérémy Pasquier (alto) and Thuy Anh Vuong (piano). Of course I do not forget Sami Bouvet (sound engineer) without whom all this would not be possible. An amazing team, really !

The EP will be available the 14th of January 2021.

Stay tuned, the best is yet to come.
