The most striking memory is the never-ending and sublime silence that followed the last notes of the Chopin prelude played as an encore by François -René Duchâble during a concert at Mogador. Both the artist and the audience had joined together on the edge of this interpretation, which gave meaning to each note, a meaning understood by all, in a rare union and harmony that no one wanted to break by applauding. We all seek to relive such moments.
This is undoubtedly the invisible force that guides me in my daily work.

The Audirvāna adventure started with a boxed set of 56 CDs by Aldo Cicciolini, a pianist I love. After ripping them to a digital format , I wanted to listen to them from my computer. I was disappointed when I tried the various “audiophile” playback solutions available at the time. I found these solutions to be technically questionable and the listening quality extremely poor. One would have thought a computer should sound as good as a CD player! I finally convinced myself that I could do better. I plucked up the courage to go for it, with the sole aim of creating the ultimate audio software.

The results were extremely encouraging as I felt like I was getting back the feeling I was looking for. I shared the demo online. It was downloaded over 100,000 times!

I received extremely positive feedback from the community and this encouraged me to continue its development. I then realized I had an opportunity to seize ; make a purity of reproduction, an uncompromising level of quality in the service of the emotions that music alone can make us feel available. Over the years, I approached every new subject, explored every idea for improvement, always with the same high standards and the ambition to make Audirvāna the best solution for playing music from a computer.
Audirvāna Studio as we know it today is the result of all this work.
