Biography

Julien is a French composer and filmmaker based in Edinburgh. As a composer, he is interested in creating immersive “sound-worlds” to communicate abstract or complex ideas and exploring how sound and music work at the interface with other disciplines, including visual art and science. His music has been performed by a number of orchestras and ensembles including the Edinburgh Contemporary Music Ensemble (ECME), Mr McFall's Chamber, the Tinderbox Orchestra and Any Enemy.

Julien's symphonic pieces "Les Mélodies Nutritives", "Helicotrema" and "Hologram" were premiered by ECME in 2026, 2020 and 2015 at Edinburgh’s Reid Concert Hall, whilst his surround sound piece "Hologram (augmented)" was presented at the 2017 Sound Thought Festival (Glasgow) and 2022 Sonorities Festival (Belfast). In 2022-23, Julien was a Visiting Music Fellow at the ICMS (International Centre for Mathematical Science) in Edinburgh, during which he composed the chamber piece "Resonance". His chamber piece "Fall of a window cleaner" was premiered at the National Concert Hall in Dublin in 2011 and recorded by Mr McFall’s Chamber.

Julien has scored the soundtrack of a number of short films and was selected for the 2011 Edinburgh International Film Festival's Composer's Lab. His soundtracks have been performed live during projection at a number of festivals and venues, including the Arches Live Festival (Glasgow), Dublin Electronic Arts Festival (Dublin) and Centre for Contemporary Arts (Glasgow).
