Michel PEPE was born on 1962 in Paris and is considered in France and several countries as one of the most talentuous well-being musics composer.

He began studying the piano he has seven years old, then a few later he learned to play the guitar and to write music.
Fascinated by the drawing potential of electronic music, this led him to take a keen interest in the healing power of sound.

In 1990, he decided to dedicate himself to composition and since then he has worked out several albums in which magnificent universes, symphonics harmonies, sweet and crystal-clear tones merge and he also likes to accomodate his music with classical and traditional instruments, as well as sounds of nature.
His refined and melodious musics are used in the area of Relaxation, Yoga, Tai chi, Qi gong, Sophrology, ... and also for supporting numerous television programmes concerning ecology, nature, exploration, wildlife...

He composed several albums, Joyaux et Merveilles (new album 2007), Splendeur d'Eternité (2006), Harmonia Terra (2006), Plénitude (2005), Présence de l'Ange (2004), Divine Oasis (2003), The Wings of Love (best of 1995-2003 produced by Oreade), La Source d'Emeraude (2002), Alchimia d'Amore (2001), Floraisons Sacrées (best of 1995-2001), Eurasia (2000), Harmonia Millenium (2000), Les Ailes de Lumière (1999), Le Jardin de Cristal (1998), Les Perles du Coeur (best of 1990-1995), Terre Celeste (1995), Diamant Solaire (1994), Purification (1992) and Transcendances (1990).

Musical way


 Since the age of seven the magic of sounds and music have been in my life. I began to study the piano then and later at the age of 27, the electronic world of keyboards and computers.
At the age of 18 a clairvoyant predicted that I would become a well known composer. She saw me surrounded by all kinds of instruments, synthesisers, computers and composing music that heals, calms, brings well-being and thus harmonises body and mind. At that time I played the piano and the guitar for my own enjoyment. I did not even know how to connect a keyboard to a computer, so how could I become a composer of harmonising music ? I left the clairvoyant's prediction in a corner of my mind and did not thinking about it any more.

In 1990 I recorded my first CD in a Parisian studio. It seemed to happen all by itself, with simplicity and wonder. Some months later, at an alternative medicine exhibition in Paris, I met my first distributor who specialised in selling relaxation music. This is how my musical career started

At this time a new direction opened up for me and I became interested in the therapeutic possibilities of sound and music. After more than 15 years of research and study I have learned, with humbleness, to use sounds and frequencies therapeutically in order to promote harmony.



Once upon a time there was a composer called Michel Pépé...


 (interview by Pascal Rivière, journalist & Musico- therapist)




Pascal Rivière : The titles of your albums are poetic and reveal a complete programme… what are your sources of inspiration?

Michel Pépé : The artist, more than just being an composer, is above all a channel. Nothing belongs to him, but everything that surrounds him is at his disposal and can be a source of inspiration. It seems to me essential to lead a harmonious life, to have a healthy vision and an open heart… I look at the world, photograph it and express this as music. To compose is to be at one with the music and with the universe.

Pascal Rivière : Why did you choose relaxation music ?

Michel Pépé : Because relaxation music avoids harmonic tensions and favours calm and serene atmospheres, which for me reflect a new life style, a new consciousness. This type of music is also active. The effect of such vibrations are scientifically proved : they relax the nervous system, eliminate stress, bring oxygen to the cells, harmonise the two hemispheres of the brain, etc. It also works on a spiritual level in harmonising our subtle energy centres and our energy fields. It helps the circulation of Chi or vital energy. When the composer has a conscious approach, this will show in his music and the listener will benefit from it. I and my artist friends who compose this style of music are happy to contribute to increasing peace and harmony thanks to this music .



Pascal Rivière : One finds in your music various kinds of musical atmospheres, from classical music, symphonic music, Celtic music, sacred, medieval, Andalusian , Oriental music, Asian, Indian, Japanese, Tibetan and even futuristic influences. Where does all this musical richness come to you from ?

Michel Pépé : A famous composer once said that music is a universal language. I am aware of being part of a large planetary collectivity. I wanted to bring together various musical cultures since we all belong to a great human family regardless of the colour of our skin or religion.


Pascal Rivière : Is composing for you like a meditation ?


Michel Pépé : What is meditation, if not a way of being rather than of doing ? If meditation is becoming aware of what is happening here and now and letting silence be part of you, then yes, composing is for me a meditation. When I create, I feel I am in a state of openness and receptivity. I welcome what comes. Inspiration flows freely when one is in harmony with oneself and all that surrounds us.
