Compositions Slash
Compositions Slash Method
On this page, you’ll find an overview of compositions using the Slash technique, specially created at the request of Professor Marie-Elisabeth Faymonville for a comparative study on various approaches used at the Interdisciplinary Center of the University Hospital of Liège. Several studies examining these music compositions and their effects have been conducted since. You can find these studies on the Publications page and the description of the Slash technique, along with some details on the theory surrounding the creation of these musical works, on the Slash Technique page.
Compositions Slash Method : Therapeutic Music
Discover an effective sonic exploration for various conditions (sleep, anxiety, etc.).
With over 60 instrumental compositions to my credit, along with expertise in traditional music composition and computer-assisted music (CAM), I offer a unique approach where tempo and note count undergo simultaneous reduction to match our biorhythms. A synthesis of creativity, musical knowledge, sound physics, and human physiology, I invite you to explore my “Slash Techniques”. This technique is explained on the page that bears its name.
Inspired by metaphors from Professor Faymonville’s seven hypnoses and imbued with profound intentions, these musical compositions offer a captivating or soothing experience, but are primarily built on a specific technique that has already been the subject of several studies in the scientific community.
Listening to musical excerpts is still under construction. Feel free to contact me directly.

Derived from the hypnosis “Dreamland,” this original musical composition with type B Slash technique is the most commonly used to promote sleep.

Jourrney Skyward
Inspired by the beautiful text of Professor Faymonville, entitled “Traveling Light,” I was led to create a 20-minute musical composition employing type A Slash technique.
The metaphors present in the text are of remarkable depth, and they are felt in an intuitive manner. This composition stands out for the well-being that ensues, offering a profound and immersive musical experience. This piece is one of the most striking musical compositions I have created, with special effects designed specifically to amplify the lightness evoked in the original text.

Keep Evolving
Lasting 20 minutes, this musical composition with type A Slash technique originates from Professor Faymonville’s hypnosis “Stories and Metaphors”. Translating verbal metaphors into musical metaphors is a highly complex exercise that led me to incorporate as many musical genres as metaphors. On this soothing composition, the non-verbal intervention of singer Martine Hovent’s voice adds additional richness through accentuation.
Genre: Music Therapy – Polyinstrumental – Lyric Singer
I personally play each track of these compositions, which sometimes contain more than fifty layers. This involves physically playing the music on the piano, electric guitar, bass guitar, as well as various percussion instruments.

Braking Train. The first one in 1995!
In the depths of the night, a mysterious sound emerges, evoking the sinister braking of a train slowing down until it comes to a stop in an ethereal silence. This captivating moment, typical of the New Age genre, is meticulously crafted by the hypnotic harmonies of a synthesizer, weaving a sonic landscape imbued with mystery and contemplation.

In contrast to the first one, the second is all about gentleness, with a Slash technique applied to glockenspiels evoking mobiles placed above babies’ cribs. Recently, its duration has been extended by one minute to a three-minute delay to facilitate falling asleep.
Particularly suitable for children, this enveloping composition creates a soothing environment conducive to sleep.
