About Me

I was born in Paris and studied at the Paris Conservatoire from 1872 to 1884. I love using bitonal harmony in my pieces, and frequently employ parallel chords. I also enjoy unprepared modulations - message me if you're up for a bit of that. My most important compositions are works which look back at rococo decorousness with modern cynicism and puzzlement.

My Interests

Playing the piano, composing, trimming my facial hair, using the whole tone scale to compose, and pondering the meaning of the ever present Tristan chord.

I'd like to meet:

Wagner.

Music:

The aeolian mode transposed into C sharp minor, the whole tone scale, parallel chords, non-functional harmony, Wagner, non-diatonic stuff, acid jungle.
