Hi, I’m Burhan Khatib, a composer and musician based in Lyon, France, working across film, theatre, and visual art projects. I create original scores, live performances, and cross-disciplinary soundscapes for short films, installations, and stage works, collaborating with artists in Istanbul, Lyon, Grenoble, Paris and beyond. I perform oud, sing, and percussion, and I combine traditional and contemporary techniques to craft immersive sound worlds. I studied at Université Grenoble Alpes and Université Lyon 2, and I continue to develop projects that connect music with visual art and culture.
