Computer-assisted music (MAO)

Since the 2000s, digital technology has offered us infinite possibilities in the creation of varied sound universes from real and virtual instruments, samples, sound synthesis and various tools allowing us to shape, sculpt and color sound.
Although music theory is sometimes useful, learning MAO can be done intuitively without theoretical knowledge of music theory or an instrument. However, sound creation on DAW (Ableton Live, Cubase, FL, etc.) is a vast and complex universe. It requires great perseverance to understand how the DAW works as well as a good knowledge of the tools and the composition of a sound.
Many people stop along the way, discouraged by the mass of information they must integrate before they can make a “good sound”. But professional quality sound can now be produced at home with minimal equipment!
To begin with, a computer, a DAW and a good monitoring system are enough to develop very rich and complex pieces. The possibilities for creating different combinations with additional hardware are very varied: synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, real/virtual instruments, turntables, sound banks, midi controllers, inexpensive effects, etc.
The tools that certain computer programs (plugins) provide us with are sophisticated and, for the most part, inexpensive, allow us to learn different sound sculpting techniques in a very personal form. Learning computer music is therefore enriching in a multitude of aspects, which we discover throughout our projects and allow us to make our ideas real!

About Me

Fascinated since my childhood by this abstract mystery that is sound, I have accumulated knowledge for more than 10 years on the creation of immersive sound worlds and the embellishment of multiple sound projects. This knowledge was consolidated by a professional approach during a Bachelor at the SAE in Brussels.

Passing on my knowledge has become a new passion, accompanying beginners and more advanced to fulfill their dream: get out of their mind their creativity and develop their musical identity.


I participated in projects like those of Nathan Bonjour ("Niggas in Paris remix"), Juldem (EP "On our own"), YNK (Prod, compo, arrangement) 13 mini (Prod, compo, arrangement), etc...

I continue to develop my own universe of composition. Favorite styles: reggae, hip hop, trap, psy, cinematic.

In parallel, I mix and I also accompany the artists to help them develop their musical project, guiding them towards their own arrangements and a clear structure.

My work on computer is also accompanied by real instruments such as guitar or various instruments: harp, melodica, maracas,... .
