Olivier Arson is a French composer and artist who also records and performs as TERRITOIRE. An admirer of the pioneers of concrete music, he works from narrative structures in the direction of a music that is defined through sound. His output, bold and immersive, continues in constant search through the use of experimental instrumentation, electronics and sonic manipulations.

He has published three records as TERRITOIRE and has performed at festivals such as Sónar, Roadburn or Primavera Sound. His scores for Rodrigo Sorogoyen's films The Realm and As Bestas have won him two Goya Awards for Best Music in 2019 and 2023.
