Biography Instruments and Repertoire

Marc-Alexandre plays several instruments. He considers himself a cellist primarily (5 years experience), although he has not been able to play since 2003 for lack of a cello. He also plays the flute and B♭ clarinet, and has attempted to learn or merely tried several other instruments.

He plays, in order of skill and experience:

- Cello - Concert flute - B♭ clarinet - Piano - Tin whistle - B♭ trumpet - Guitar - Baritone Horn

Musical style

Marc-Alexandre writes primarily for small orchestras and solo piano, usually in the style of video-game, visual-novel or film-score music. He is interested in Impressionist music, but has never experimented in writing such music.

In his progressive metal work, he is strongly influenced by Dream Theater. Non-musical interests

Marc-Alexandre's non-musical interests vary widely, from the sciences — electrical engineering, theoretical physics, chemistry, medicine, biology and higher mathematics — to the arts and beyond. As an artist, he enjoys writing fiction (predominantly short stories, psychological in nature and pseudo-historical/fantasy in setting), composing and playing music, and, to a lesser extent, drawing. He has also been learning the arts of Western and Japanese calligraphy. He also does web-programming and design, being comfortable with PHP (very limited SQL abilities), Javascript, XHTML and CSS.
