For example, mixing African rhythms with oriental melodies, incorporating a touch of Brazilian inspiration and sprinkling the whole thing with carefully chosen spices.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All these ingredients come from an open, unprejudiced intercultural world.

It&rsquo;s by drawing from this source that I&rsquo;ve developed a hybrid technique that blends styles.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The technological openness of music has enabled him to add electronic sound processing to all this, opening up an ocean of rhythmic and melodic possibilities. Everything is percussion: the body, water, a saucepan, a plastic bag&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As in cooking, these flavors delight the taste buds and create new sensations.<\/p>\n<p>MUSICIAN: the man his peers call \u00ab\u00a0The Sorcerer\u00a0\u00bb plays an instrumental set of hybrid percussions and drums augmented by electronic processing.<\/p>\n<p>COMPOSER: He writes music for film, television and dance performances.<\/p>\n<p>TEACHING: His teaching work continues this open-minded approach, with Master Classes, Drum Circles and seminars focusing on rhythm, improvisation and electronic sound processing.<\/p>\n<p>Always attentive to new proposals, his inventiveness feeds his participation in each new project.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u00ab\u00a0He puts his energy and vivacity into play to seek melody in sounds and rhythms.\u00a0\u00bb <\/em><strong>Sylvain Siclier \/ Le MONDE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00ab\u00a0Energy, groove, swing.
