Valentin HADJADJ
|
Diplômé du Conservatoire Régional de Lyon en guitare et contrepoint, Valentin Hadjadj poursuit ses études au Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse où il obtient une Licence de Composition et un diplôme d’Orchestration, puis un Master de Composition - option Musique à l’Image - dans la classe de Gilles Alonzo.
Pendant toute la durée de ses études, parallèlement à ses créations pour le concert et la danse, Valentin multiplie les expériences dans nombre de courts-métrages, dont L’Infini réalisé par un certain Lukas Dhont. Ce film très remarqué sera récompensé dans de nombreux festivals et scellera un lien artistique et amical entre le jeune compositeur et le futur réalisateur de Girl. En 2012, Valentin Hadjadj reçoit le Prix du Meilleur Jeune Compositeur Européen aux World Soundtrack Awards du Festival de Gent (Belgique). En 2015, il "signe" chez JPAgency, puis sa première musique pour un long-métrage, Avril et le Monde Truqué, un superbe film d’animation réalisé par Franck Ekinci et Christian Desmares d’après l’oeuvre de Jacques Tardi. Valentin y dévoile l’étendue de son talent de par sa maîtrise de l’écriture classique et des outils de programmation. Le film remportera le Cristal du Meilleur Long Métrage au Festival International du film d’Animation d’Annecy et le Prix de la Meilleure Musique Originale au Monstra Festival de Lisbonne. Valentin est nommé pour le Prix France Musique - SACEM et remporte le Prix du Jeune Talent décerné par l’UCMF. 2017 est pour lui une nouvelle année charnière : Il retrouve Lukas Dhont pour le splendide film Girl qui remportera des dizaines de prix internationaux dont la Caméra d’Or et le prix du Meilleur Acteur (Un Certain Regard) au Festival de Cannes 2018. Le film est magnifique, la musique de Valentin y est remarquable et remarquée. En septembre 2019, le compositeur reçoit l’Ensor de la Meilleure Musique Originale. Si Valentin Hadjadj est depuis l’objet de toutes les attentions, il s'implique toujours côté courts en multipliant les expériences et les rencontres. Une dynamique qu'il souhaite appliquer aussi bien à l'animation, à la série qu'au long-métrage "classique" en restant attentif à la création de demain. Parmi ses scores, on peut citer ceux du film britannique Rialto de Peter Mackie Burns produit par Le Bureau, et de Un Monde Plus Grand réalisé par Fabienne Berthaud et produit par Haut & Court, deux films sélectionnés dans le cadre de la Mostra de Venise 2019. On lui doit également la musique originale du film de Claus Drexel Sous les Étoiles de Paris produit par Arches Films et Maneki Films, sans oublier la série d'animation Roger (78 épisodes de 7minutes) produite par Je Suis Bien Content pour France Télévision. En 2022 il signe la partition de Close, 2ème long métrage de Lukas Dhont qui remporte, entre autres récompenses, le Grand Prix du Festival de Cannes. En 2023 Valentin compose la musique du 1er film de Noé Debré Le Dernier des Juifs puis celle du film new yorkais Boundary Waters de Tessa Blake. |
