About me
I'm a London-based music composer for films and media with a substantial track record of commissions from national broadcasters in France, including France Television and Arte for prime time films and documentaries . I've recently relocated in London where I compose in a studio within a whole artist community, Make Space Studios (http://www.makespacestudios.com).My work goes through very eclectic influences and ranges from orchestral live music to innovative electronic music and sound design. I have scored more than 50 soundtracks for feature length, short and corporate films, tv documentaries, and international events. I have been working with top documentary directors in France such as William Karel ("La mort en face", 2019) , Fred Wilner ("London, Amsterdam, New York : the magnificent three", 2017) and Laurent Delahousse ("un jour un destin" documentary series, removed ), in various genres (biopic, historical, nature&science, docudrama, ..) and I would love to bring my experience to compose for UK programmes !
My creative process involves a strong commitment to always meeting the production deadlines , sharing ideas with the filmmaker or editor, and pushing the limits of creativity without compromising the vision of the film.
Formerly a telecommunications engineer, I learnt classical piano and music theory by the age of seven at the Music School of Le Chesnay, in France . I studied composition and harmony at the American School of Modern Music in Paris. I also founded the pop-rock band Doune (2 LPs released and more than 15 live concerts in France), for which I was keyboardist, singer and composer.

"I first met Olivier Depardon ten years ago when I was looking for the score of a biopic I was directed for public television. I was right away seduced by its strong and powerful drafts. They gave the pictures the feelings I was looking for. Since then, Olivier’s original themes kept following my documentaries, always with these tiny magic things which make all the difference."
