Maxence Dussère

In 2020, Yasmine Meddour participated to the Master Class in music composition for image, led by Renaud Barbier, and took part in the European Market for film composition. Last year, the composer Maxence Dussère won the Cinezik prize for his three short films in competition. Together, Yasmine and Maxence come back to Marseille to present Houria, the second feature film of director Mounia Meddour, for which they co-signed the original music.

It was at the end of his studies at the Femis that Maxence Dussère laid the groundwork for a career as a composer for images. With Hotaru, a short film by William Laboury, he supports the dreamlike language of the image with a bewitching electronic music, full of pop sounds.

Then with Laboury, he creates a sound more raw in Chose Mentale. A balance that he keeps in Romain Laguna's first feature film Les Météorites. Sometimes vaporous, Maxence's style does not fall into conceptuality, keeping in focus a theme that eventually shines through.

With Joueurs de Marie Monge, the musician confirms a unique sensitivity. Abandoning the synth, in more organic and purified tints, a double bass, a violin, some percussions, he makes the alchemy between Ella and Abel an evidence.

A rare understanding of the image/music interaction, fruit of years spent in the sound business and major asset of a composer now solicited by many directors: in the last 2 years, Maxence has composed the music for 5 feature films and 2 series.
