I always felt a certain reluctance towards progress, but then I started embracing it because I had no choice. I still continue to do so. First of all to love cinema. Then, watch as many films as possible. Listen to music 360 degrees. Work deeply on your emotion skills, interpretation. I think the main key is to be able to adapt yourself to any kind of film genre, especially if you like it and have accepted the collaboration! I think, as well as I'm sure that fusion has always existed and will always exist… It's a natural human reflex. It goes with progress and evolution. Each culture needs to be revisited by another and give birth to a brand new one. All this will have been a slow and natural process. Inevitably all my references and all my inspirations came together in my head and I ended up with a fairly harmonious mixture of everything that constituted my musical universe. When I compose for a film, I do keep, of course, a certain freedom in my own style, but the master is no longer myself but rather the director, and above all, the film itself. ] External links Category:Musicians from Algeria Category:1950 births Category:Living people
