Life and career
Thierry Malet started to study the piano at the age of 7 at the Conservatoire of Paris with the pianist and concertist Marie-Claire Laroche,[5] where he took courses in harmony and composition. But it was to be a further ten years before he discovered his true passion at Claude Bolling's school,[6] writing film scores. In order to gain a fuller understanding of musical acoustics, he went to study acoustics at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers.
In 1986, he developed the very first MIDI digital guitar in Belgium with the RTBF laboratories. before moving to the University of Sheffield in England where he graduated with a Ph.D. in bioacoustics[7][8] and architectural acoustic computer simulation.[6][9][10] Confident in this experience, he returned to France in 1994 and was soon to compose a number of original scores for television broadcasts and documentaries before going on to sign scores for French and American feature films. In 1995, he founded his own executive musical production company[11] in order to gain a perfect understanding of the recording business.
In 2016, he signed the music of a big show at the Grand Palais in Paris (France), The Conquest of the Air,[16][17] a full 360° 6000 m2 picture with a 3D music as a tribute to the 100 years anniversary of the French aviation.
In 2017, he attended a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival in the south of France where he announced the release of a new 3D system of spatialization[18] called ARPEGAM and dedicated to the recording of feature film music.
