After an initial career in film music, advertising, stage music, and creations for young audiences, Olivier Delevingne is now turning his attention to creations blending music and poetry. Inspired by the creations of pioneers of electroacoustic music, he crafts compositions at the crossroads of electronic traditions, musique concrète, and modernity, utilizing the latest electronic and digital instrument-making technologies, in which he is an expert.
In 2024, he published the first book dealing with the ecosystem of musical creation from a composer's perspective: Création musicale et technologies, du chaman au slasheur (Musical Creation and Technologies, from the Shaman to the Slasher), with the Éditions universitaires de Dijon. Jean-Michel Jarre wrote the preface.
As a corollary to this desire to share his knowledge, since 2014, and alongside his career as a composer, Olivier has been actively involved in institutional activities for the representation of artist-authors and the defense of their rights in France and Europe. The professional press and institutions regularly call upon his expertise on current copyright issues and the economics of the music industry.
He is currently President of the National Retirement Fund for Artists and Authors (IRCEC).
