CURRENT MISSION
To have a happy and free life
ABOUT ME
I am a clarinetist and clarinet teacher Lyon. I love to improvise, but I also play classical music and new music. I play the Turkish clarinet too.
I like good deep conversations but also to dance and have fun, go to bars.I practice aikido and zen meditation.I try not only to practice my clarinet the whole day but also to be open to all kinds of arts. I would like to travel more often in the wild. I am interested in the degrowth movement and all kind of positive ideas that could make our society totally sustainable and meaningful.
PHILOSOPHY
I try not to judge nothing nor anybody and I try to understand the differences. I live and make music to meet people around the world and to create something really worthy.
