From the fruit of his various collaborations, his interests are articulated around two axes: gestuality and random systems. This work on gesture exists through realizations and lutheries, with ErikM, Natacha Muslera, Pascale Criton, but also in the form of academic research. He is particularly interested in random and mathematical systems for music with Sébastien Roux, Carol Robinson and Alessandro Bosetti. Other collaborations have marked his career: Tristan Murail, Reinhold Friedl and Francesca Verunelli. He leads a more personal work, in the field of experimental and electroacoustic music. He practices the synthesizer and the clarinet, plays with systems that relate scales of energy and contradictory listening. The material is mainly derived from synthesis and experimental sound capture systems. Lately, he approaches modular synthesis from an instrumental point of view, between gesture and analogical live coding.
