Bonjour,

Anciennement étudiant de l'Abbey Road Institute et de l'ISTS, Je suis désormais ingénieur du son et réalisateur musicale pour divers projets. Je pratique la M.A.O depuis mes 11 ans et j'y ai appris l'utilisation des logiciels Logic Pro, Ableton ou encore Pro Tools.

J'ai eu la chance de travailler dans un studio d'enregistrement professionnel pendant plus d'un an et d'y avoir vu des artistes comme Thérapie Taxi, L.E.J, The Dø, Synapson ou encore Parcels.

J'ai moi-même un groupe nommé Later. avec lequel je suis signé sur le label Cookie Records (Pain Surprises) et Kitsuné musique. Je me charge de la production musicale, des enregistrements, des arrangements, du mixage et aussi du mastering.
Notre musique a obtenu de très nombreux passages radios (Nova, Fip, France Inter, RTL etc...), plusieurs Playlists Spotify Officiel et de nombreuses interviews (Côté club sur France Inter, France 2, Greenroom etc..). On comptabilise désomais plusieurs millions de streams sur les plateformes.
Nous avons également participé au lancement de BE Records (label de Bon entendeur) en signant un titre original sur leur première compilation.
Récemment, notre morceaux Highway 10 a été repartagé sur Twitter depuis l'espace par Thomas Pesquet.

Je suis également producteur et réalisateur pour plusieurs artistes. Que ce soit pour un single ou un EP/Album, j'accompagne les artistes de la composition jusqu'au mixage/mastering de leur projet.

Également DJ, notre label organise très régulièrement des soirées auxquelles j'ai la chance de mixer. Nous avons remplis des lieux comme le Kilomètre 25, Madame Loyal, Le Mazette, La Java ou encore La Grande Arche de la Défense.

J'ai aussi eu l'opportunité de percher et d'être à la post-production de plusieurs court-métrage qui m'ont permis de progresser dans la prise de son et l'univers du cinéma.

Je m'adapte selon vos envies, en ma compagnie vous pourrez :

- Maîtriser les logiciels Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, Pro Tools ou encore Fl Studio.
- Améliorer vos productions (enregistrements, mixages, mastering etc...)
- Préparer un Live avec Ableton Live

From connection to production through and configuration and until the final result is obtained on social networks or music platforms, you will learn all the intermediate steps to spread your creativity in the connected world.

With specific expertise on Apple Logic Proc X and Ableton Live, the same principles are valid on any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) as well as on the configuration that is specific to you.

I also advise you on the hardware (physical hardware / software) to buy according to your specific needs.

This applies to anyone without age barrier, as long as the will and passion is there ...

Hello!

Composer and music producer for about twenty years, I offer you help in learning the different sound creation tools such as the use of composition applications (specialty FL Studio, WAVE suite, Spitfire, EastWest, etc.) as well as the workflow between real sound recordings and their integration into the digital environment. Ideally complementary to your musical background, I am also available to start on a good basis and follow at your speed the musical journey necessary for the evolution of your project.

Beyond the artistic projects I have to my credit (EleYpsis, The8thstep, Color8 etc.) and my activity of composition for images (Scherzoworx), I also have several years of experience in teaching musical discovery for adolescents without a solid musical background.

Les cours sont basés sur les principaux logiciels (Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton, FL Studio) et sur les outils que tu utilises déjà.
