Marc-Olivier Dupin

Marc-Olivier Dupin is a French composer and pianist known for his evocative film scores and genre-blurring solo works. His recent projects reveal a knack for pairing intimate, textural compositions with historical and literary narratives, as seen in soundtracks like *Le Journal d'Hélène Berr* (a haunting score for a WWII-era diary adaptation) and *Shoah : les oubliés de l'histoire* (a somber documentary soundtrack). Dupin’s versatility shines through playful solo releases like *Odd Piano Pieces* and the introspective *Jewish Cello Suite*, which blend classical precision with contemporary experimentation. He often collaborates with French filmmakers, including Véronique Lagoarde-Ségot and Jérôme Prieur, crafting music that amplifies complex stories—from wartime dramas (*Darlan le 3ème homme de Vichy*) to quirky character studies (*Les écrivains, le silence et les chats*). Whether scoring films or crafting standalone albums like *Museum*, Dupin’s work feels both thoughtfully restrained and emotionally resonant, making him a quiet force in France’s cinematic and contemporary music scenes.
