Inspired by his love of nature and by the destruction of it by technology and mankind, Soleil Vert composes music where layers of electronic textures are often in contrast with ambient nature sounds. The name comes from the French translation for "Soylent Green", one of the first widely distributed commercial movies anticipating a dark future.

Soleil Vert is the result of getting in contact with nature. This experience made me realize how we human beings relate to nature. We are made in our bodies to be inhabitants of planet Earth, we are biological beings, dependent on Earth's ecology. Nothing can replace our natural environment as our life support system. Nature is also a source of deep emotions and a feeling of connectiveness to the elements that are often overlooked today.

The destruction of nature for profitability. Our collective alienation before the powers of money and politics. I am playing the soundtrack against that desolation. There's always that little hope, that flower in the middle of the asphalt. Watch the forces of nature still growing in places, still going strong within ourselves. My music is all about that contrast. I imagine the landscapes of the past and the future in a surreal voyage. Then I make the sounds...

This solo project started in fall 2004 and Soleil Vert produced his first album in 2005. It is currently based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
