Chassol

Parisian pianist and composer Christophe Chassol dedicated his entire life to music, leading him to work on film scores, experimental pieces, and even dabble in the realms of pop. Taking his cues from Steve Reich and Hermeto Pascoal, Chassol would trawl YouTube for clips to write music to. Ultimately, he found himself writing TV scores, predominantly French shows. Perhaps inevitably, he transferred his talent to film scores, writing original pieces for films such as The Incident (2011), Darktouch (2013), The Missionaries (2014), and Lamb (2015). As his popularity increased, the wider world of pop music began to take notice. As a result, he was invited to Abbey Road studios in 2016 to take part in the writing and recording of Frank Ocean's long-awaited second album. ~ Liam Martin
