As a pianist & keyboardist he plays today for a tribute to Herbie Hancock. In 2013, he founded the Cie des Humanophones with the idea of ​​exploring a musical language by integrating the body, the art of voice and dance. He brings together vocalist singers and body percussionists to developpe shows as THE HEGDEHOG’S DILEMMA – a musical physical theater duo, CORPUS, ANTROPUS – anatomical concerts, AKA FREE VOICES OF FOREST – a collaboration with pygmees from Congo-Brazzaville and I WANT YOU BACH – an acapella concert around JS BACH revisited.
