Sensation
After Arthur Rimbaud’s poem
A musical scene shaped from a summer night landscape, youthful wandering and innocent imagination. The music begins in an open natural space, then moves toward light steps and an inward reverie.

From textual structure to musical space.
Demos
These works begin with specific poems and develop their space, movement, imagery and shifts into musical form.
More poem-based demos will be added over time.
Le Dormeur du val
After Arthur Rimbaud’s poem
A luminous valley, a sleeping soldier, and a pastoral calm that slowly becomes unsettling. The piece centres on this fragile image, where the freshness of the landscape is quietly followed by the silent presence of death.
Départ
After Arthur Rimbaud’s poem
The music is shaped by the poem’s accumulative parallel lines. A recurring gesture of departure returns with changes, carrying the music forward.
Au Cabaret Vert, cinq heures du soir
After Arthur Rimbaud’s poem
After days on the road, a youth finally sits down at a tavern: bread and butter, ham, laughter, beer foam, and a late ray of sunlight. The piece centres on this small, concrete moment of joy, where physical fatigue gives way to warmth, rest and the simple pleasure of a meal.
Les Effarés
After Arthur Rimbaud’s poem
Approach
My composition often begins with the movement of a text: how space unfolds, how rhythm advances and where shifts occur.
In writing, these relationships gradually become musical structure, melodic lines and spatial relationships between voices.
Visual Scores / Close Listening
My Instagram visual scores come from the same approach: using the score as a way of entering the inner movement of music.
Through lines and colours, I highlight structure and voice movement, helping listeners follow direction, relationships between voices and details that often remain hidden beneath the musical surface.
This way of listening continues to influence my compositional work.
Collaborations
I am open to collaborations with poets, theatre directors, short filmmakers and other artistic projects.
