I propose to accompany you in your musical journey by sharing my passion with you, to grow together, day after day, your pleasure of “making music“.
With a lifetime of musical experiences, in many fields and styles, I have chosen to address primarily adults who already have a piano practice, and who wish to continue to evolve on the instrument to ENJOY THEMSELVES!
Thus, we will discuss together your musical tastes, your inspirations, your aspirations, and pursue your goal of fulfillment and progress smoothly: everyone’s daily life being most of the time sufficiently paved with constraints, the practice of music must above all be a pleasure.
Our first interview, of about an hour will take place at your home or mine, and will allow us to get to know each other around the instrument, to discuss your expectations, your availability and the work rhythm to be set up.
For the financial aspect, please consult my RATES page.
Computer music software [or DAW, for Digital Audio Workstation] is constantly evolving and is increasingly accessible to the general public. Ultra-powerful, it increases the creative potential of musicians thanks to a multitude of features, sounds, combinations, etc.
On the other hand, it can be confusing for the novice, who may become discouraged by the mastery of the technique, essential for its proper use.
With several decades of practice of DAW on different software, I propose to accompany you in mastering the equipment that you have chosen, or that you will choose based on my advice.
Our first interview, of about an hour at your place or mine, should allow us to get to know each other around your/my equipment, to discuss your expectations, your availability, and the work pace to be set up.

Once your composition is finished, creating a well-balanced mix that breathes, has the right dynamics and the right arrangement of instruments in the sound space can be difficult, tedious, and sometimes even off-putting.
This work has always fascinated me, and I offer to do it for you. Please refer to the RATES page, where you will find the details of the operations included in this service.
Mastering is the final stage of processing your tracks. It occurs after they are mixed and before they are broadcast on the platforms. This is a delicate and complex operation on the audio signal that makes it possible for everyone to listen with a minimum of distortion, from all streaming platforms to all listening devices, from smartphones to HI-FI systems.
This need for compatibility requires technical compromises on the signal, requires specific skills and dedicated software that is relatively complex to use.
Please refer to the RATES page, where you will find the details of the operations included in this service.
With a career as a CAD engineer under my belt, I design and manufacture parts based on a specific need (headphone stands, keyboard or electronic module cases, etc.), can recreate a broken part that is not found on the market, etc. If you encounter this type of need, do not hesitate to contact me. We will study together the feasibility and cost of the service.
The photos below show the inclusion, to the nearest millimeter, of a midi keyboard in my upright piano. Mounted on an aluminum slide, it moves laterally, without a single screw being necessary to secure it to the piano.
The horizontal-vertical rotating tablet support is also made in 3D printing and attached to a GoPro suction cup mount. The piano can remain open while having access to my scores or software.
The maximum 3D printing dimensions that I can produce are: 20cm x 20cm x 20cm. Possibility of larger parts by assembly (as for the tablet holder).
Other achievements are presented on my 3D page, including the reverse engineering of the complete structure of a Hanlet pianino in an industrial style in brushed aluminum sheet. A short video showing the (almost) finished object is available here.
