Despite the technical difficulties at the start, computer music helped La Grande Sophie, especially in recording studios.
"Me, who did not go to a conservatory, it allowed me to address musicians", estimates the musician.
"I would do my models on my own on the computer, then I would show them what I wanted to record and improve with them. It's a form of independence for me, really."
Compositions for TV fiction
This passion for computers, La Grande Sophie is lucky enough to be able to share it with her husband, a computer scientist.
"He was the one who introduced me to this," says the singer-songwriter.
"He loves to install things when they are difficult to install. And me, as soon as I hear a sound, I do something with it. So we are very complementary."
Computer-assisted music also enables La Grande Sophie to carry out other musical projects, and in particular to compose for television.
"I work a lot with director Arnaud Mercadier. I made five TV films with him. And I love it," she says.
"It's like my cocoon where I lock myself, I do this all alone at home."
