"In my compositions for vocal ensembles and choirs, each time, I hope to achieve that the words are at the source of a" new world " to create an imaginary language if the subject invites me to while being attentive to the question: who will it be addressed to? Children, young people, adults, amateurs, professionals, women men or mixed choir. The approach of a foreign language that I like to try for its unique sonorities is always done with a person mastering it and being sufficiently musician to note the tones and rhythms. "
