"Release of the ‘Steppes Breaths’ ! After the CD » Breath of the World » and several years of exchanges with Enkhjargal Dandarvaanchig (Epi), our music now comes to life, played in quartet with Johan renard and Thierry Gomar : pieces of a repertoire of revisited music from Mongolia and our very nowadays compositions in a poetic language built together step by step."

His musical experience has started with the Western Classical Music, the soloist
repertoire &chamber music, and the improvisations for the contemporary ballet.
His passion for improvised musics has led him to the Music of India, hence he became one of the renowned western specialists.
