Try Again

Try Again is inspired by this repetitive process of repetition, failure, until successful completion. It's a piece I wrote in an atmosphere of conflict between success and failure. I collaborated with drummer Sam Ruff and bassist Baptiste Watiez on this track

Milonga

This piece is inspired by an Argentinian milonga rhythm, originally in 4 beats that I transformed and mixed into a 7 beats rhythm. I collaborated with Sam Ruff (drums) and Baptiste Watiez (bass). This piece is a mix of various influences: Argentinian, Cuban, jazz and classical music. The theme of conflict is developed here in the general atmosphere of the piece, very dense, intense and passionate.

Seven

I originally wrote this piece for solo piano and arranged it for the Beyond Music Project. The idea of the song and of this production is to mix the acoustic with the electric by opposing these two universes and playing with their opposition but especially their complementarity. Conflict is for me a succession of different stages: the calm where some tensions begin to be created, which little by little will take more and more magnitude and end up breaking out. This is what I wanted to show through our interaction in the piece.
