Paul Benéteau

Paul grew up in a family of musicians. Trained from a young age at the conservatory of Chartres (France), he played viola and orchestral percussion, performing for several years with the Conservatoire de Chartres symphonic orchestra.

However, his true passion for music ignited in his late teens when he began teaching himself electric guitar.

He has since composed and produced two instrumental hard rock EPs centered around guitar themes and solos, drawing inspiration from guitarists such as Kiko Loureiro, John Petrucci, and Marty Friedman.

Paul later developed a strong interest in scoring to picture. He has composed original soundtracks for several short films, a live action show, and a fantasy role-playing game, blending his classical background with modern elements. His work ranges from epic, cinematic orchestral themes to intimate, soulful ambient tracks, often incorporating hybrid synth or rock touches where fitting.

With a careful attention to detail, hitpoints, and narrative coherence, Paul crafts music that supports visual storytelling with precision by emphasizing drama without overpowering the scene.
