Biography
Film composer Nicolas Jorelle was born on November 23, 1963 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, in the Hauts-de-Seine department of France. Nicolas Jorelle began his musical career with the choir of the Notre-Dame de Paris choir school, where he received a solid musical training. Parallel to his studies, he worked as a technician for Paris studios. This immersion in the world of recording gave him the opportunity to attend sessions with some of the greatest names in French chanson, including Barbara, Michel Berger, France Gall, Jean-Jacques Goldman and Johnny Hallyday. But he is especially present at film music recordings under the direction of composers such as Vladimir Cosma, Michel Legrand and Francis Lai. These sessions were a turning point for him. He began composing for television (Cordier, Juge et Flic between 1994 and 1998, Le Petit Juge in 1996, L'Ãtoile Filante in 1998) as well as for the cinema. Nicolas Jorelle adopts a distinctive approach, composing music well in advance of projects, often right from the script stage, enabling him to create soundtracks that are deeply integrated into the film narrative. His first big-screen experience was with Alexandre Jardin, who called on him in 1993 for Fanfan. The director called on him again three years later for Il N'y a pas que le Sexe dans la Vie, Oui . Just as he was starting out in the world of advertising (he produced over 40 soundtracks), he composed the soundtrack for Eric Fourniols' Voyance et Manigance in 2001. Jacques Cortal's Quand Je Vois le Soleil followed in 2003. Then, in 2008, he wrote the soundtrack for 8, a film featuring eight directors, including Gus Van Sant and Wim Wenders.
