 "Each compositional experience appears as a process of change, propelling me outside of the known towards new sounds, other individuals and different challenges. Dynamism is implicit in the process; a specific movement which manifests itself uniquely to each project and I have no intention of balancing the possibilities of personal gain with the potential risks involved. The process moves me and pushes me forward. I could not wish for more". (Jean-Yves Bosseur).
