Born the 27 Novembre 1955 in
Grenoble (Isère - France). Following studies in the National Conservatory
for the Grenoble Region (harmony, couterpoint, fugue, organ, clarinet, acoustics
and musical history) followed by the Highter National Musical Conservatory
in Paris (writting, analyse with Betsy Jolas, composition and musical research
electro-acoustic with Guy Reibel), has since 1985 been a member of the Grame
college of permanent composers, as well as one of the studios teaching team.
Since 1989, he has been teaching the electro-acoustics music class in the
Saint-Etienne Conservatory. His multifaced work is essentially made up of
precise and finely honed writting. Applying a pointillism style, it is prepared
from calculations made by a computer. These are often mixed pieces, wherein
the inspiration is drawn from the World of poetry. Multiply shaped pieces,
they are more often than not made up of an ensemble of parts wich can be played
by each of the musicians in the order they wish. Very close to calligraphy,
his scores progressively become an integral part of the masterwork, to arrive
at sound exhibitions where they appear written in golden ink on sheets of
acoustic glass.
