Why film music?

Born in 1980, Aurélien soon became familiar with the new technologies of music as an extension of his creativity and the ability to extrapolate the seemingly small universe of piano lessons at the conservatory. The fascination grew with the evolution of technology and the discovery of composers like Eric Serra who, with the film Big Blue, produced an entire soundtrack based on synths and sounds of ocean animals, contributed to further exploration of these new techniques. Simultaneously, the passion for cinema and the realization of the importance of the role of music in the media directed is focused on the world of soundtracks and their composers, not forgetting the interconnection and lasting partnerships with great filmmakers (Bernard Herrmann & Alfred Hitchcock, John Williams & Steven Spielberg; Danny Elfman & Burton; Nino Rota & F. Fellini; Eric Serra & Luc Besson, among many others).
