Graduated in 1985 from the Institut des Arts de Diffusion (IAD) in Brussels. In 1992, with the impetus of actor Pierre Maulini, the adventure of Masé Studios in Geneva began. Like an orchestra director, Denis sets the tempo for the studios and always manages to get the best out of his team. He is also a member of the committee for the federal diploma Audio Visual Technician (TAV) and an expert for the Centre de Formation aux Métiers du Son et de l'image (CFMS). He has mixed over 200 film productions, including the Oscar-nominated MA VIE DE COURGETTE. In 2023, he won the Swiss Film Prize for Best Sound with FOUDRE by Carmen Jaquier.
