Romain Trouillet, a French composer based in Les Lilas, has been exploring the relationship between music and image since his musicology studies at Lille III University. After completing a thesis on "audiovisual counterpoint" in 2012, he earned a master’s degree in 2013 and, in 2014, joined the film scoring program at the CNSMD of Lyon, where he trained in orchestration and conducting.
Pianist by training, he draws inspiration from world music, crafting a unique and original style. In theater, he has collaborated with Alexis Michalik on award-winning plays such as Edmond and Le Cercle des Illusionnistes, as well as with Benoit Solès on La Machine de Turing. His works often combine composition and sound design, as seen in La Dame Blanche, which features an immersive sound installation. In cinema, he explores psychological tension in the thriller Madeleine Collins (Antoine Barraud) while enhancing historical narratives in De Gaulle (Gabriel Le Bomin).
With Sauvage and Les Engagés, he adopts a more minimalist and intimate approach. He is currently working on the ambitious score for the animated film Astérix: the Kingdom of Nubia, directed by Alexandre Heboyan.
