Born on the Franco-German border, he has explored texts and works from different eras at the piano since childhood. His free improvisations form the core of his artistic practice. He initially studied classical piano, followed by composition in his hometown, before continuing his studies at the Conservatoire de Paris. He also explored the relationship between music and dramaturgy, initially composing music for the stage. His musical journey subsequently evolved within the tradition of contemporary classical music.

He was an artist in residence at the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) in Graz, Austria, as well as at the International Society for Contemporary Music in Switzerland. He has also performed his music at the Mixtur Festival in Barcelona and the Impuls Festival in Graz, and was nominated for the Quattropole Music Prize.

His deep connection with nature and the living world shapes his music, which draws primarily on his close observation of his surroundings. His life has been marked by travel. He spent several years living on the island of Tahiti. Fascinated by the centuries-long isolation of the Pacific islands, he explored the traces of Polynesian musical traditions that continue to be practised today. These experiences led him to delve deeply into the traditional music of cultures around the world and its history. During his travels, particularly through Central Africa and South America, he traced ancient musical traditions that have remained alive to this day. In this research, he collaborates with archivists, music producers, and documentary filmmakers.
