He then became a pianist in several symphonic orchestras and an accompanist at the Opéra National de Lyon.
When he went to perform in New York, he met Philip Glass who introduced him to film music scoring. His first experience in composition for a movie was with the director Costa-Gavras in 2001 for his controversial movie Amen. He swiftly became skilled, both as a performer and a composer, and has since composed more than 40 soundtracks for such directors as Cédric Klapisch and Agnès Varda.
