Description
The title of this album: Aux deux hémisphères, is a reference to two of my main sources of inspiration, namely the lyricism and the torment found in Russian post-romantic music as well as the relentless rhythmic energy of Argentinian tango music.
These two hemispheres are very present in my music and represent in a way the two poles of my musical personality. Indeed, my compositions frequently alternate between introversion (sweetness, lyricism, torment, soaring music, minimalism) and extroversion (sound power, music rock, popping rhythms, exhilaration) to create cinematic music with a lot of intensity and contrast.
The two hemispheres are also a way of expressing the duality and the complicity between the cello and the piano, constantly in dialogue and each occupying a place of equal importance.
