Bruno Coulais

A French composer, most widely known for his music on film soundtracks. Bruno Coulais’s musical style may vary significantly between different projects, but there are some constant factors visible: his taste for opera and for human voice, for a search for original sonority, for world music and mixing different musical cultures, and finally, a certain tendency to give preference to the ambience created by lighting rather than the film’s narration. In 2022, he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award from the World Soundtrack Academy.
