Self-taught composer and multi-instrumentalist. "Music and image have always coexisted in my professional life. I learned sound-engineering to get me closer to the music which I loved. Composing music for the visual was a logical progression, my way of getting inside the soundtracks of the films I was working on. Sometimes I escape into music "without the visual" to gain a little freedom but, basically. it's only making my own personal movie".

Frédéric Loth has composed a score of works for cinema and television. "Hearing Coltrane made me want to play the saxophone but popular music has always stood alongside jazz standards marking my playing and my composition...After theatre and dance I turned to cinema and television, diversifying the influences, juxtaposing "java" with string quartets, bagpipes with saxophone, a predeliction for accordion and percussion and all wind instruments, naturally...An ironical voyage, twisted but lyrical, a touch of klezmer, a hint of the orient with a dash of tango spilled onto the streets of Gay Paree. I love the fierce, complex rhythms of Stravinsky, the subtle polyphony of Ravel and the profound decency of Mozart. As for film music, I have a particular soft spot for Nino Rota, as much for his writing, dazzling and to the point, as for his marvelous artistic complicity with Fellini..."
