Bio & Worklist

Justin Lépany shares his artistic practice between experimental classical composition – for choir, organ, bells or orchestra – and electronic solo performances. His composition for bells Ringing Peace was premiered during the opening of the 2014 Peace Nobel Prize ceremony in Oslo. 2015 saw the release of Agnes (in Redemption), a solo album uniting his music with his photographic work. In 2018, Justin Lépany composed L’Homme contre l’Homme for the 100 years anniversary celebration of WWI Armistice in France. For the past few years, he has focused on choral music and has collaborated with choirs in Europe and the Middle East, particularly in Lebanon and Syria. Since 2022, he has also been producing experimental mixes for radio stations such as LYL Radio (Frankreich) and Noods Radio (UK).
