Croene started composing rather late in his career. Starting with impro projects in the 2000’s, the release of the Piano Démécanisé LP in 2010 set up a series of projects in which he gradually evolved to composition. Now he writes mainly for piano (duo), using video (e.g. Eagle Finger) or conceptual settings (e.g. Roll over Czerny).

Le Piano Démécanisé
Le Piano Démécanisé tells the story of the dismantled piano, discovered as an objet trouvé. It demonstrates the hidden goldmine of sound possibilities waiting inside the piano. Only courage is necessary to disengage the piano carcass from the dictatorship of sophisticated mechanics. The article that comes with the concept became an important aspect of that project as it was used as the liner notes of an album for which the sleeve design made the text literally wrap the music with meaning.
