Christophe Chassol is a French composer, director and musician with a singular approach to composition. He is the creator of unclassifiable albums, films and performances that he calls “Ultrascores”: musical journeys to the United States with Nola Chérie, to India with Indiamore, to Martinique with Big Sun, and to Japan with his film Ludi, freely inspired by Hermann Hesse’s The Glass Bead Game.
Alongside the concerts he performs around the world, Chassol composes for film and television. He has also collaborated with a wide range of international artists, including Frank Ocean, Solange, Xavier Veilhan, Sophie Calle, Phoenix and Sébastien Tellier. Chassol first appeared on France Musique in 2017, when he became a weekly columnist on the morning show hosted by Saskia De Ville. He also hosts the music television programme Ground Control, broadcast on Arte.
