Jean-Michel Serres is a composer-pianist who explores the potential of the Post-classical, Minimal Music, and Ambient genres within the forms of piano solo, piano trio and string quartet, especially. For him, composing music is the act of finding unique, eternal, and precious melodies and harmonies. His style is simultaneously contemporary yet orthodox; his compositions and arrangements are sweet and refreshing, minimal but profound, and diverse yet universal.

Serres is also a pianist who performs Classical and New Age music. His playing is characterized by smooth, sensitive, and comfortable phrasing, a light, gentle touch, and accurate rhythm. His repertoire includes Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, Federico Mompou, Philip Glass, George Winston, and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
