Our film is sincere, brought to life by exceptional personalities around whom the score had its full role to play. I wanted to work with Erwann because at every sta...

  Le Laowaï 疯狂的外教 / WELCOME TO CHINA (2023) Film by Anthony Gavard Music by Maximilien Mathevon Cast: Anthony Gavard, Liu Peng, Fu Hong, Han Yueqiao Premiere in Chinese Film Festival Paris 2023 THE FILM Anthony Perrin, a French sports teacher invited by a school in China, thought he would come and discover the country quietly. It is with amazement that he learns that he will have to teach French to the students! Following a series of misunderstandings, he finds himself having to, with the help of Jackie, the sports teacher, defend the school's honor in a “pétanque” competition against champions. Le laowai Ost on Spotify THE MUSIC With this nice comedy, I was able to create a very thematic score and make these themes evolve with the plot. In particular a theme which represents the main character's vision of China: first presented as stereotypical, then less and less caricatured as Anthony discovers and understands the country. Also a theme dedicated to Anthony, init...

  Bruno Pilloix – Un Autre regard Urbno Jazz A contrasting Eden… Bruno Pilloix 4Tet+ Olivier Hutman, Jose Fallot, Etienne Brachet URBNO JAZZ is the result of experience: Bruno Pilloix and his wonderful musicians take us on a journey through his personal compositions  with a modern, sensitive and sparkling Jazz. Even if they only met a year ago, the feeling between the artists was instantaneous from the first notes they played together! Bruno Pilloix on Spotify The recording of this musical project brings together the desire for sharing and intimacy with all the musicians who participated. From the quintet to the duo, the timbres of each instrument intertwine freely with the harmonies that my compositions offer. Everyone is in the spotlight and giving the best of themselves for my greatest pleasure. A different point of view, a nascent thought, a contrasting Eden, a time for everything, an eternal river, an intimate and unanswered whisper, then an inevitable depa...

On Spotify Ever since my first films, even though the action took place in Algeria, I've always avoided the idea that the original music could be described as Arabist, and the original compositions belonged to a rather classical repertoire, played on piano solo. For “You promised me the sea”, I felt the need for a different mood, without necessarily having a preconceived idea of the direc...

  HAPPY NIGHT (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Director Mustafa Ozgun Music by Maximilien Mathevon Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd The arrival of the young Xin in a Chinese store in France will upset the daily life of the owner, employees and customers. But also cause strange and disturbing events, especially at night when the young woman dances in the deserted store. Happy Night Ost on Spotify The music of "Happy Night" is divided into three elements: suspense music, comedy elements and the music for the dance sequences. For the suspense, I used a dark and ambient style, combining piano, sounds of 80s synthesizers and contemporary sound design.  The comedy music, by contrast, is light and mischievous, using tones of double bass, string pizzicato and clarinet. As for the dance sequences, they are dynamic and EDM (Electronic Dance Music) style. They also reflect Xin's state of mind, her sensuality and sadness.
