about

artist / musician / composer / filmmaker

Lars Marstaller once wrote something very nice about my music:

“In between spheric and dreamlike soundscapes up to the harsh cut up music concrete, pieces of field recordings taken from all over the globe emerge.
Stephane Leonard´s music creates a unique atmosphere that immediantly draws the attention of the listener. Out of a self coded max-msp software, a microphone and a small selection of external sound sources small sensitive universes stream together. While listening they expand further into the realms of imagination and thus take precise looks at the nature of the world around us. With the perfectionists love to detail, Stephane’s compositions build bridges which hold for even the most lost of characters.”
