Reviews
Journal of Montreal – “Four Stars for Laurent Eyquem”
"Maman est chez le coiffeur, soundtrack, Analekta/Select. The original music is a perfect match for this poignant movie. Laurent Eyquem, brings a very personal touch to this work, showing strong influences from Chopin. As Blossom Dearie said so well, "tout doux, tout doucement" – so softly, so gently."
CBC Radio – “Sublime, magnificent”
In a radio program discussing all-time best movie soundtracks, the host of a cultural show for Canada’s national radio station talked about the music for Mommy Is at the Hairdresser's (Maman est chez le coiffeur) at a listener’s request, and called Laurent’s original soundtrack “sublime, magnificent”.

Other Credits
In addition to his ongoing work in film, Laurent’s musical contributions have become a regular part of Canadian documentaries and TV campaigns for major national advertisers.
His emotionally charged, classically inspired pieces are also in demand by prestigious institutions such the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
Like everything else in nature, music is a becoming, and it becomes its full self, when its sounds and laws are used by intelligent man for the production of harmony, and so made the vehicle of emotion and thought.
