Michel Petrossian's work for the screen is defined by versatility and by a precise attention to the unique needs of each film. Whether for an intimate project or a large-scale production, the focus is on finding the musical form that best reveals the narrative, shapes cinematic time, and establishes an organic connection with the visual world.
His palette spans a wide range of styles and formats: orchestral writing, chamber settings, piano, acoustic or electric guitar, influences from progressive rock, traditional musics, and contemporary idioms. This breadth remains anchored in a strong identity, with each score conceived as a distinctive sonic signature shaped by the film itself.
Grounded in a rigorous compositional background and active across diverse artistic contexts, he approaches film music as a meeting point between structural depth and immediate perception. Developed in close dialogue with directors, his scores seek not merely to accompany the image but to reveal its hidden dimensions — emotional, temporal, and sometimes symbolic.
