In 2013 I formed a Rock n 'Roll trio from the 50s and 60s, with which we scoured concert halls, festivals, bars, and private parties throughout French-speaking Switzerland. In 2018, I decided to go to England for 3 years where I obtained a Bachelor at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London, and joined various live and studio projects. I had the opportunity to study all aspects of modern music with renowned teachers and musicians such as Martin Goulding (Guitar Techniques, Total Guitar, Guitar World) or Nate Williams (Jamiroquai).

If you feel discouraged or overwhelmed by the technical aspects of a creative process, this is the lesson for you. In these lessons, we will work on making the most of what we have through creative-problem solving and inspiration-hunting. You bring your ideas and we develop them together, have challenging conversations and explore alternative approaches to composition, production and songwriting to get you closer to your vision. We will also explore the many possibilities of working with a live band, ensemble or orchestra and how to encourage a healthy but focused work process. Some more things covered in the process: - Logic Pro X (mixing, producing, sampling, midi, audio recording) - Composition (score writing / editing, notation software, orchestration / arrangement, music theory, composing for film / video) - Songwriting (arranging, alternative score-writing, band communication, demo-making) - Experimental production (eg. no-input mixing, prepared instruments, effect-pedals) _________________________________________________________________ Do not let your ambition be hindered by limitations, but allow it to be inspired by them!
