A childhood spent among a jazz saxophonist’s collections of world music instruments left him with a taste for improvised languages and exploration. Introduced to the electric guitar at an early age, it was literature and philosophy that first won him over.
As a studio musician and member of various alternative rock projects, my encounter with Jacques Erwan (Libération, Radio France, Le Printemps de Bourges) opened the doors to chanson and the Théâtre de la Ville. The Batterie pôle musique, Arcadi and the Région Île-de-France also helped me to develop my projects and ideas.
In May 2021, I won the Art Zoyd Studios call for projects, which led to a commission from the creation centre. The result was an electronic escape for synthesizers and percussion, based on Gérard Hourbette’s “Symphonie pour le jour où brûleront les cités”, released on the IN-POSSIBLE RECORDS label.
Alice Total began in 2022 as a film-concert based on the short film Alice In Wonderland by W.W. Young (based on the work by Lewis Caroll), which gradually evolved into a fully-fledged original project featuring electronic music and video projections. The first ep, Inner Sail, was released on 22 March 2024, distributed by Kuroneko.
