Holeg Spies is a French composer and music producer known for his work in film scores, electronic music, and in multiple musical collaborations. His music typically draws on diverse musical elements, often blending electronic, musique concrete, Indigenous music and orchestral elements to create unique and atmospheric soundscapes. Spies has also composed scores for movies, television, and multimedia projects.
In the early 90s Holeg Spies was one of the first wave of DJs in the European underground techno scene. He also headlined the first techno tour of India in 1995 and then multiple tours of Japan, from 1997 onward.
Holeg Spies approaches music and sound as living organisms that constantly interact with their environment. He defines this concept as "Ecophonism", an artistic approach in which space becomes a co-composer and the listener a sonic inhabitant within the musical process.
As a film composer, he has collaborated on multiple scores with Patrick Savage, including the 2009 cult horror film The Human Centipede (First Sequence), and the award-winning Abruptio. Together they have often been credited as "Savage & Spies"
