As a lead composer he has scored more than a dozen features and series, among them DOWN, At the Canyon’s Mouth, Eating an Elephant, Brooklyn Love Stories and nine seasons of Balabol.

He co-produced and orchestrated Deep Symphonic (2020), the orchestral album by the Grammy-winning project Deep Forest, with founding member Éric Mouquet.

He wrote the music and lyrics of “Presque Perdu”, the original song in Andrey Zvyagintsev’s Minotaur — Grand Prix, Festival de Cannes 2026, released by MUBI.

Beyond composition he leads a small team of sound specialists in post-production, so a score arrives designed, produced and mixed as one piece. He also writes and releases electronic music as MAQ.
