Michael Pignéguy
What if the difference between a good day and a great one was something you could compose? Musician, arranger and composer Michael Pignéguy has spent his career telling stories through music — scoring documentaries, arranging for orchestras, and taking audiences on sonic journeys across continents. In this talk, he turns that lens on something closer to home: your daily life. Drawing on his own film scores, orchestral works, and an unforgettable walk down a school corridor, Michael asks whether we can use music the same way filmmakers do — not just to accompany life, but to actively shape how we feel within it. The answer leads somewhere surprising: to a playlist that is yours alone, and a life you have more power to design than you might think.
