Trained as a jazz pianist (Master’s degree from the Paris Conservatory), Thibault Gomez is now developing a personal compositional style that is gradually opening up to contemporary and electronic music. His work blends acoustic instruments, analog synthesizers, and field recordings in a sonic exploration that is both precise and intuitive.
He lives in Paris and draws his raw material from the subtle sounds that surround us. He transforms birdsong, the rustling of leaves, and moments of silence into music, highlighting those tiny details we hardly hear anymore, yet which shape our relationship with sound. One can imagine him in a dimly lit corner, surrounded by keyboards and magnetic tapes, playing with chance and memory.
His album *Birds Are Also Afraid of Heights* is a gentle, hypnotic journey, built entirely from birdsong transformed into musical material. A shifting soundscape, somewhere between dreams, nature, and contemporary instruments.
Playful and contemplative, his music moves between jazz, pop, and experimental music, exploring open forms at the intersection of improvisation and composition.
In addition, Thibault Gomez has been a co-composer for the band Sarab since its inception and regularly accompanies artists such as Marion Rampal and Célia Kameni. He also writes for the theater, notably with Estelle Meyer and Luca Fiorello.
