Cauchemar Chemin (French: 'Nightmare Path') is a composer and sound-designer of avant-garde horror music. Inspired by the innovative classical music of Penderecki, Xenakis and Schoenberg, as well as the inventive industrial soundworlds of Skinny Puppy and Nine Inch Nails, Cauchemar Chemin creates a unique netherworld of horror movie sound design by manipulating personally-recorded acoustic instrumentation into a mangled soundmass of intense atmospheric morbidity.
