about

"Center Stage" was born out of the need to merge two opposite universes: electronic music and classical ballet. I wanted to compose and produce music for a ballet ensemble while preserving the pulsating allure of the dancefloor, the bass tones evoking Drum’n’Bass, and the entrancing ambiance of techno. I envisioned it for a theatrical production featuring classical dancers en pointe: rewriting everything, adding a chamber orchestra and a grand piano, introducing a subtle cinematic essence, reintegrating rhythmic patterns inspired by Detroit Techno sounds, and sliced breakbeats typical of London’s Jungle music. As a final touch, the mastering is optimized for club soundsystems.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Neoclassical music, sub-basses, live visuals, and the challenges of muscular dystrophy. Someone once told me: ‘The only sports you should engage in are chess and bridge.’ I was just turning 14, and it felt like a life sentence. Naturally, I did not like it, so, of course, I did not listen.

"The Exhausted" embodies a strange fusion of contrasts and contradictions: I live with a muscular disease, but I still do things I should not. However, it evolved into a personal game for me-to blend interests that aren’t conventionally compatible. Like composing neo-classical music designed for clubs or creating films and visuals intended for ballet stages, where projecting images on walls is a rarity. And when everyone anticipates the soft sounds of a violin, I find myself drawn to playing a deep and resonant sub-bass.

To put it simply, if you ever spot someone on the dance floor at 4 am, bravely navigating their way with a walking cane in one hand and a drink in the other, don’t hesitate to say hi!
