BrokenTale
Music is a journey
BrokenTale was created by two music composers, Jad & Erawan de Villeneuve.
In our Paris studio, we create music for fiction films, documentaries, video games and also for our own projects.
Our music covers a broad spectrum, from World Music (we have produced albums of traditional Tibetan music and worked with the extraordinary sitar player Narendra Bataju) to other styles, we create symphonic, sound design and cinematic scores, and even play heavy rock.
Both of us had a serious piano training. Jad studied at the École Normale Supérieure de Musique de Paris to become a concertist while working on piano composition and Erawan studied at the Conservatoire Supérieur d’Annecy from the age of 6.
Jad, after her graduation and while she was working for French Television, composed a score for a short film and was nominated for the French Oscars (the Césars).
Erawan, alongside his classical training, spent a lot of time studying rock, blues, jazz and explored new musical paths by trying as many instruments as possible, finally choosing bass guitar.
While working on a range of projects, we also founded a successful music school in Paris welcoming more than 350 students a week. All year along.
Jad developed a new method to learn how to read music. She published 3 children’s books illustrated by Gaël Gonzales to help kids learn easily how to read the notes and understand rhythm.
After this thorough training in music, composition and creation where a natural evolution and we joined our talents to form the BrokenTale duo.
We built our own recording studio as a tool for our creative work. It is a unique place where we gathered everything that could be needed for our creating process.
Starting with a basic piano and a bass guitar, our studio now matches our needs with a broad array of instruments and recording equipment for both the analog and the digital world.
Our music covers many universes : fantasy, science fiction, anything epic and cinematic. It is a key ingredient of the BrokenTale spirit.
We are opened to creators, film directors, choreographers who need original scores to meet their needs.
Animation, documentaries, short films, fiction movies, theater, video games… we are here to compose music for any creative projects needing original and exclusive scores.
