Back to soundtrack !

​

Harry Potter is one of the main cultural events of the end of the Twentieth Century and beginning of the Twenty-First. As a book series first, that I have been lucky enough to discover it before its success began to blow up in France.

And then as a movie series, starting with The Philosopher's Stone nicely directed by Chris Columbus.

​

I took inspiration from both of them to write this music, trying to going back to the innocence that conducted me when I was 16-17 and composing Jurassic Park as a happy feast of music.

​

Well, I was not 17 anymore, and it was not so easy this time. I achieved a first version in 2001, which was too long and didn't work very well in a frustrating sluggish way.

I started to work on my next project, then went back two years later to Harry Potter to reassemble it in a more dynamic version, with new arrangements of some tracks that desperately needed them.

​

Finally Harry Potter is a hopping 70-minute long album, with a lot a cinematographic themes for the main characters and a carefree and refreshing spirit.

The same spirit, I hope, that radiated from the first book from the series, which then made Harry Potter a massive changing turn in the way to consider youth literature.

​

Now I still want to compose music inspired by the following books and movies. I wrote a few pieces for The Chamber of Secrets, but there is still a lot of work to achieve it, and I'm currently working on the Replay Project which I find more exciting for now.

So patience is required once more...
