Frédéric D. Oberland (born in 1978 in Paris, France) writes some music, for himself and for others. His work combines electroacoustic research and sensitive improvisations to form original and imaginary soundscapes playing with time, memory and the elements.
As a member of the french experimental cinema workshop "L'Etna", he has composed some original sountracks for experimental and documentary film/video artists like Augustin Gimel, Hugo Verlinde, François-Xavier Drouet, Mikael Rabetrano, Othello Vilgard, Delphine Lest. or the "Label Ombres" collective.
