Great work, again! [...] The high quality of Renaud's music already makes me think about offering him another work for 2008

Felix Lancelot, Slowemotion

You have a talent for handling all styles of music. As far as we are concerned, we love your music from nature. We really enjoy your sensitivity about the singing of peoples and the sounds of nature, which you perfectly arrange with your personal touch, that very style that makes it be Renaud Schmitt's! We like listening to your album over and over and we've got the shivers with some specific tracks. It proves the musical spell works! Besides your music perfectly matches animal documentaries and travel films. We recommend Renaud's music and skills to anyone wishing to emphasize their shots...

Guillaume Julian, adventurer, director

Renaud Schmitt truely is talented: I'm always taken aback by the variety and inspiration of his compositions. And as my arranger, he can convey what I want in all my songs as if reading my mind. I trust him completely.

Géraldine Olivo, lyricist and composer

Working with Renaud is a real pleasure. We worked together on a few tracks including "Le Voile d'une Pierre", which is on my album. His compositions are merely sublime, and the only thing I want is my next album to be composed by him only. He is a virtuoso.

Jean-Lin, singer, lyricist

It was a great honor and tremendous inspiration to collaborate with Maestro Schmitt on the moving Christmas carol "Silent Night". I have always admired Renaud's musical genius, and I personally feel that his orchestral arrangement on this well known composition, is the most enchanting version I have ever heard in my entire life.
In fact, many others have commented the same. When I first listened to Renaud's heavenly orchestral arrangement, before I added the piano track, I instantly fell in love with his soundscapes, and the magical beauty which he created suddenly overcame me with such divine inspiration... It was a pure delight and privilege to work with Maestro Schmitt, and I hope that the world will soon come to know his wondrously diverse and prolific music.

Kathryn Toyama, Hope For Harmony

Thanks, Renaud. It's a great pleasure working with you on the scores of my animal films.
You have always been very understanding and talented in the making of soundtracks which perfectly fitted my shots as well as my desires. We have been working together for two years now, and I am more and more pleased with the great care you show in composing and the fact you always try to be as available as possible. I can't wait for our next film!!!
Thanks again!

Fabien PECHEUX, director of Nature's films (animals, etc.)

Within the wave of unknown talents are hordes of artists worthing to be on top of the charts. Some are singers and perform opening shows of well-known stars. Others, whose job is "just" composing don’t have this luck and stay behind the spotlights.

Renaud Schmitt is one of them. Even if he specializes in electronic music, it’s however hard to maintain he belongs to such or such type of musicians... Actually, he has a great potential and knows how to appropriate every kind of music. So he can play and create new age as well as pop/rock music, animal documentaries soundtracks, relaxing music and so on… But he also performs for himself and creates his own melodies which are a real passport to dreams and mind escape (some are songs too).

For those who were lucky to see his music growing, it’s important to notice he is obviously moving to his own style despite very various inspirations. In the past, the artist could have been compared to great names of electronic music; that time is over now.

In September 2008, his first album "ECLOSION" is released. Don’t look for it on your usual online store, you will not find it. If you are interested in hearing Renaud’s music, please visit CD Baby's site. The CD is cheap and will bring you a lot of emotions and fulfilment. You can also visit his website to know more about him.

Moreover, Renaud Schmitt is an artist close to people, he is unassuming and doesn’t act like a star. His sense of contact, his kindness and the fact he is easy to approch make him a real "human being" (noble meaning). Thanks to him for that contact and for everything he brings to "us".

Renaud is a really great musician and he can compose in many different styles. Since I played with him in the band "Erin Bliss", and for "Anywhere Out Of The World" and "Beyond your Dreams", I want us to keep on playing and composing together!

[...] More than musical skills, there is also about M. Schmitt human and relational qualities, as well as reliability in his commitments

François Muller, Vice-President of USC

I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Maestro Renaud Schmitt. I never met this great Maestro in person, we communicated via email only. I don’t play any musical instruments and don’t know musical grammar, but I made up several songs. Maestro was just listening to my singing (I am not a good singer also) and produced a wonderful music for me, much better then I was even expected. He is amazing and very talented composer.

Svetlana Rudkovsky

[...] Consequently, I am in a position to estimate his remarkable capacities as a musician and as a composer, and to recommend him in full knowledge of the facts. [...] Renaud Schmitt is a very talented composer, more precisely in relaxation music and film scores. The tracks I listened to really sound detailed, seductive, original in style and conception. He obviously has a bright future ahead of him as an artist and he deserves to succeed. Moreover he is a hearty, open-minded, dynamic and modest man.

Prof. Dr. Jacques VIRET, Music Teacher, University Marc Bloc, Strasbourg

Thanks so much for the music, Renaud. It's exactly what I expected.
