Dimitri Artemenko

Born in the Soviet Union and trained in the Russian and Estonian classical tradition, violinist and composer Dimitri Artemenko settled in Paris in 1992 to study with Serge Pérévozov and Berry Hayward. A multidisciplinary artist, he specializes in creating original scores for silent films while navigating genres from classical and medieval music to jazz, rock, and improvisation. A recognized professional in the audiovisual sector, he composes for cinema and major television networks (Canal+, France 3, France 5). His career features premier collaborations with artists like Féloche, Estas Tonne, Darya Dadvar, Naâman as well as the Berry Hayward Consort. His expertise in scoring heritage cinema is internationally acclaimed. He won First Prize at the Rimusicazioni Film Festival in Bolzano, Italy, for his silent film music. He also develops multiple live cine-concerts with pianist Vadim Sher, performing at prestigious venues like the Philharmonie de Paris. As a solo artist, he released Musiques pour ascenseur en panne (Silbo Records). This neo-classical, cinematic album blends minimalism, lyricism, and instrumental density. Structured around repetitive motifs and subtle inner tension, it offers listeners a deeply introspective and immersive sonic experience.
