At once music composer (Un Drame Musical Instantané which with he records about 30 albums, as well as for movies, theater, dance, radio), film director (La Nuit du Phoque, Sarajevo a Street Under Siege, The Sniper), multimedia author (Carton, Machiavel, Alphabet), sound designer (exhibitions, CD-Roms, websites, smart objects, etc.), founder of record label GRRR (1975 !), Birgé conceives a passion for images and sounds, and particularly for their potential to produce sense and create emotions. ===================================================

===================================================
His recent researches deal with generativity and interactivity which offer the player to discover each time a new interpretation. His soundscapes for exhibitions-shows (Grande Halle de La Villette, Grimaldi Forum in Monaco, Osaka and Omuta in Japan...) also present spaces in perpetual movement.
Moviemaker by training, inveterate improviser, composer through the force of circumstances, apostle of collective work, specialist of synthesis music instruments, initiator of the return of live music on silent movies, he considers sound as a counterpoint to pictures and dialogue, an extraordinary off-stage landscape and a wide opened window to imagination.
Birgé is famous smart rabbit Nabaztag's sound designer.
