Louis Germain is a classical composer and conductor born in Paris, France. He works for concert halls, films, video games and animation media. He was attracted by romantic music and started to self-taught composition in high school. He studied composition with the scores of Mahler, Debussy, Ravel, Scriabin and Shostakovich, and subsequently, with a passion for the study of timbre and sonority, became interested in contemporary music with Tôru Takemitsu, Yoshihisa Hirano, Joseph Schwantner and John Williams as his models. Having been a great enthusiast of Japan since his youth, Louis Germain’s aesthetic is very much influenced by the land of the rising sun. Orchestral colors, timbre palette, complex rhythms and intertwining textures are elements for which he draws his inspiration from traditional Japanese music (court music, Noh, Kabuki, …). He is the director of project MASTAIA, which aims to unify the arts and has been working with a team since 2020.
