As a composer, Philippe has created scores for feature films, television series, documentaries, and has collaborated extensively in the realms of theatre, dance, and performance arts.

As a proficient guitarist, Philippe draws immense inspiration from years of practice in improvisation, which continuously enriches his compositions.
He currently performs regularly.
Born in Savoie, France, nestled deep in the French Alps, Philippe's passion for music ignited at a young age, influenced significantly by the continuous musical environment within his parents' home.
Upon discovering composers like Frank Zappa and Igor Stravinsky at the age of 14, Philippe made the decision to depart from the traditional mainstream school system at the age of 15. This pivotal moment led him to dedicate himself entirely to pursuing his passion for becoming a composer.
Subsequently, at the National Conservatory of Music in Grenoble, France, Philippe delved into composition studies, exploring techniques ranging from the early Renaissance to the 20th century. He also experimented with a variety of studio techniques, sampling methods, and music-assisted computer techniques during this period, which would later become integral elements within his compositions.
