La musique instrumentale composée par Patrick est tout à fait sublime. Elle touche le cœur dès les premières notes. Souvent ballade, parfois énergique du genre musique du monde, elle nous transporte à notre source intérieure. Sa grande sensibilité lui permet de se laisser inspirer très facilement. Depuis 14 ans, Patrick invente des mélodies accrocheuses appuyées par une harmonisation solide et très originale qui font de lui un créateur unique. Son expérience à composer sur commande est hors du commun puisqu’il crée majoritairement pour des psychologues, psychothérapeutes qui utilisent sa musique avec succès auprès de leur clientèle. Sa musique est du genre musique de film ou nouvel âge.

Avec ses trois musiciens, il exploite avec brio toutes les sonorités de son xylophone électronique et nous plonge dans une ambiance chaleureuse empreinte de joie de vivre et de sérénité.

Patrick has recorded two CDs, both produced by Les Productions ATMA Internationales. They are distributed in Quebec and Ontario by Québec-Livres and across Europe by DG Diffusion. They are:


 * 1) Namasté… Reaching the Source and its Fullness

Patrick’s instrumental styled music is simply sublime. From the very first notes, his music resonates deeply in the soul. His music varies between balladic to being energized with a World Music beat that moves one to look towards the inner self. His personality and sensibilities allow Patrick to be inspired by the world around him and to create original musical pieces from these personal experiences.

Since the age of 14, Patrick has created moving melodies coupled with solid harmonies, making him a unique composer with a truly original style. His previous experience of creating customized, on demand, compositions is quite extraordinary. Psychologists and psychotherapists realized the healing power in Patrick’s music and eagerly integrated it in their patients’ successful treatment programs.

He describes his work as being similar in style to movie soundtrack or New Age music. In a typical show Patrick, accompanied by three other musicians, briliantly strikes all the right notes on his electronic xylophone - sharing with the audience his deep passion for life. Through the gamut of music performed, the audience feels revived, energized, and serene.
