Xavier Jamaux

Composer · Born May 24, 1968 (58) · Versailles, France

Multi instrumentalist, multi-influenced, music addict. Xavier Jamaux has put his mark into the musical scene over the years. Former member of Orange, with Alex Gopher and the Air guys, he also founded the high class pop French band Ollano. Then Xavier went on to create his solo "electro soul" project and became better known as bangbang, with many featuring guests. Now strongly focused on film music, Xavier has worked with many directors and great musicians. No preference for any genre but style, every film is a new start. Flavour is the aim.

Reviewers score the sound and music 61/100 in their films, across 5 reviewed titles; fans 67, detractors 43. The element that speaks to their work as a composer.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
