Music

Music have been a very important part of my life since I was a teenager.
I took classical guitar classes, but also learned electric guitar, piano, bass, drums and saxophone as an autodidact.
I played rock, pop, blues, funk, jazz, big band and many other styles, although I'm very polyvalent.
I always liked computers too, so I have been a prime user of digital audio workstations and virtual instruments.

Sound engineering

Since the first time I tried to plug a microphone into an amplifier, I'm very passionate about gear and sound techniques.
I was already very familiar with the basics when I took my audio engineer classes.
I had some experiences on stage and in studio. Later I learned how to be a boom operator and a production sound engineer ; most on my jobs are for video and film now.

Sound design

Tweaking sound in a creative process was a very important aspect of my classes in college.
At that period, I learned how to use synthesizers, samplers, audio edition softwares and digital audio workstations.
When I started to work for video, all this knowledge became very useful.

Audio post-production

At one point, I have been asked to deliver finale mixes for videos and eventually for short films and documentaries.
I was not an Avid Pro Tools user back then, nor familiar with the proper workflow of audio post especially in surround.
I had to fill that gap by asking questions to pro friends and watching lessons on the internet.
Then I had the chance to work with a great chief sound department supervisor, who gave me the opportunity to become very efficient in sound editing.
Today, I edit and mix all the small projects I get involved with, and I've been part of the sound department of bigger projects too.

Film scoring

I wrote music in a variety of styles. Since I set my first home studio up, I made hundreds of music mockups.
I also arranged other's music and I still work with my first music school for which I make music arrangements and music sheets.
I use this polyvalence in my scoring for film, which is a very particular process.
I did mostly shorts and documentaries and I'm looking for doing more big projects for TV or cinema. I do orchestral, ambient, pop, intimate, experimental, etc...
