The composer Laurent Estoppey is a musician highly involved in new music. He’s interested in written music of the XXth and XXIst centuries (minimalism, spectralism) as well as in more popular genres such as electro, hip-hop, rock; two worlds he loves to connect. His artistic and research interests are mostly inspired by contemporary arts (visual arts, dance, architecture, literature). Estoppey is very active in the French part of Switzerland as well as in the United States.
