As attracted by the act of creating the sound than by the sound itself, I use music as an interpretation, an accompaniment of other sensory perceptions but also as a way to share emotions with the protagonists of the musical adventure. My synesthesia is an inexhaustible source of freedom and will to create.

Each piece has its own language and its questioning. How can we combine our contemporary sensitivities and our rich heritage? What place is there for each voice in our sonic world? How to transcribe a musical gesture, an energy? What can we consider today as music instrument ? As a musical genre?
