Born on june 27th 1976 in Paris suburbia, Michaël Mambole shows a fondness for music sinces he is very young, but he actually beguins his learning at the age of 14, with music theory and classical guitar.

A few years later, he goes to music university for 4 years, but it's not all : he learns electrical guitare, and other instruments like piano, bass drums all by himself...

Despite a fondness for the piano and an intense practising of the electric bass, the guitare remains his favorite instrument.

However he's most of the time requested as a bassist, by bands he works with. He plays a lot of styles : Rock, pop, blues, jazz...


When he discovers the computer tool for musical applications, his perspectives as a composer radically change.

He starts learning MIDI, sequencers and digital audio principles.

At the end of the 90's, the appearance of the virtual instruments will give him access to a new world.

Besides music, he extends his knowledge with sound engeneering, public-address system in thefirst place, then sound recording, editing and mixing.

His experiences in studio will provide to him with some background in these domaines.


Even before working on images, sound design was a part of his occupations.

Manipulating audio samples in order to create or modify sampled instruments, led him the way to finding new soundings. Making him learn the newest technics of sound synthesis and transformation.

His passion for movies will lead him to study sound design in films.


 

In 2000 he meets Raphaël Hattab who asks him to compose some music for a short movie : Elle était une fois (Unhook the moon) with Pierre Hatet, and to take charge of the sound design, editing and mixing. Unfortunately the film will never be achieved, but it still remains a teaser entierely post-produced.

 

 

 

In 2004 Raphaël Hattab requests him again for a new project : Moi et le faux père noël (Me, and the fake Santa Close) a short movie, with Serge Merlin. This time everyting goes well, and Michaël Mambole put his name on the first motion picture soundtrack with the contribution of Wilfried Kufferath for the themes. At the same time he starts a carreer in commercials and corporate films.

 

 

 

It's Raphaël Hattab again who introduces Mambole to Emmanuel Sapolsky, december 2005. This director is working on short videos which are supposed to be among the liveshow of Anthony Kavanagh : Les démons de l'arkange (The archangel's demons) and seaks someone for the soundtracks.

 

 

 

Pleased by this collaboration, Sapolsky asks him right after the Kavanagh show, to take charge of a soundtrack for a little short movie which he just started the post-production : Translucide, with Alexandra Filliez. Then Sapolsky requests the composer several times for corporate films and commercials he works on. It's seems to be the beginning of a long term relationship as well as with Hattab.

 

 

In 2008, Sapolsky signs a contract with La parisienne d'image to direct a tv movie for Canal+ chanel. It's La fille au fond du verre à saké (The girl at the bottom of the sake glass). He manages to impose Michaël Mambole as composer.
