Who am I ?

For over 30 years, I’ve been active as a composer and performer across a wide range of musical practices, forms, and explorations. My artistic work lies at the crossroads of contemporary instrumental and electroacoustic music, progressive rock, jazz, and Afro-Cuban traditions.

My compositions have been performed in Switzerland, France, Canada, and the United States by ensembles including Nouvel Ensemble Moderne (NEM), Orchestre de l’Université de Montréal (OUM), Sixtrum, Ensemble Matka, the Contemporary Orchestration Research Ensemble (CORE), Quatuor Duggan, and the Ensemble Contemporain de la Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève (HEM-GE).

As a singer, bassist, and multi-instrumentalist, I’ve performed at venues such as Sunset and Cabaret Sauvage (Paris), Château Rouge (Annemasse), and Victoria Hall and Studio Ernest Ansermet (Geneva). With the progressive rock quartet Guacamole’s Green, I revisited the music of Frank Zappa and co-released an album of original compositions in 2016.

My training spans conservatories, jazz clubs, rock stages, and street rumbas. I hold a Bachelor’s (2011) and a Master’s (2013) in mixed music composition from the Geneva University of Music, where I studied with Michael Jarrell, Luis Naón, and Eric Daubresse. I also completed a DEPA in composition for stage and screen at the Université de Montréal (2016), and earned a Doctorate in Composition and Sound Creation in 2023 with a dissertation exploring how "worst practices" can foster originality and authenticity in the creative process.

My work has received support from the FRQSC and the Nicati-De Luze Foundation, and I was awarded the “Prix du Conseil d’État de Genève” in 2013.

As a child, I was a member of the Maîtrise des Hauts-de-Seine boys’ and men’s choir, performing in major Paris opera houses and touring internationally (USA, South Africa, Sicily, and Greece). I also worked for several years as a voice actor for children’s dubbing.
