The two artists
Thomas Dieuleveut
Thomas Dieuleveut is a French pianist and composer trained at the Dijon Regional National Conservatory, in the class of Boris Nedeltchev - a Bulgarian-Russian concert pianist and the conservatory’s leading teacher - which he left in 1991 with the end-of-studies diploma, following a specialised music-focused schooling.
But Thomas’s soul is a plural one. While his right hand caresses the keys, his left hand writes other scores: he took up law in a Normale Sup preparatory class at ENS Cachan, explored the arcana of business at the IAE (Savoie-Mont Blanc and Bourgogne) and discovered the subtle art of coaching in Geneva (IDC).
A visionary and a builder, he founded a consultancy in human resources and management. For more than twenty-five years he has guided some twenty consultants through the labyrinths of professional life. His clear-sighted counsel supports not only companies but also the highest spheres of power: ministerial advisers and influential figures find in him an attentive strategist, driven by the search for meaning and transformation.
Yet he never abandons his first passion. Throughout these years of manifold metamorphoses, Thomas never stops playing. From hushed drawing rooms to open stages, in France and abroad, he gives the piano the echo of his soul, letting his music speak where words fall silent.
His piano writing sits at the crossroads of narrative neo-classicism, contemporary romanticism and a cinematically inspired dramaturgy. In October 2019 he released his first album, N’ÊTRE & RENAÎTRE, twelve original compositions for solo piano, later revisited in duo with guitar, flute and saxophone. The album, whose title traces its arc, is rooted in a singular personal history: born anonymously and adopted at six months by the Dieuleveut family, he made this double birth the substance of a work in which each piece answers a moment of life. An improviser, he has shared the stage with Jean-François Zygel, notably in public improvisation masterclasses at La Clusaz in 2019 and 2022.
From this twofold practice - pianist-composer and company director - Le Piano Coach was born in 2008, a hybrid format developed for executive committees and leadership teams.
His meeting with Francesco Bianchi-Demicheli, in July 2018 at La Clusaz, gave rise to a duo whose first public performance took place in February 2020 in Geneva and which would take the name TiamoForte in 2024. Today Thomas Dieuleveut devotes the greater part of his stage activity to it.
Francesco Bianchi-Demicheli
Francesco Bianchi-Demicheli is one of Europe’s leading clinician-researchers in sexual medicine and the neuroscience of desire, love and attachment.
An FMH board-certified specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy, trained at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lausanne and at Harvard Medical School (Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation), he was Associate Professor at the University of Geneva - a joint appointment to the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences - until 2023. At Geneva University Hospitals, he directed the Unit of Sexual Medicine and Sexology for nearly twenty years and is today head of the sexual medicine clinic at the CHUV (Lausanne University Hospital), while maintaining a clinical practice at the Hirslanden Group in Geneva.
Co-founder and past President of the Swiss Society of Sexology, scientific co-director of the University Certificate in Clinical Sexology at the University of Geneva from 2008 to 2022 and today a member of its steering committee, he is the author of more than one hundred and fifty scientific publications (177 indexed on ResearchGate), cited more than 2,600 times. Several of his works have featured on the cover of NeuroImage and the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. He has published five books, among them Sexologie: naissance d’une science de la vie (PPUR, Le Savoir suisse, 2012) and De l’amour, fragments d’un discours scientifique (Actes Sud, 2019), a work co-authored with Marie Bergström, Philippe Brenot, Nicole Guedeney and Francis Wolff, accompanying the De l’amour exhibition at the Palais de la découverte in 2019. His research on the cerebral bases of female desire, pleasure, passionate love and attachment has been recognised by the Senior Prize of the Maurice Chalumeau Fund and by the Best Research Award of the European Society for Sexual Medicine. With Stephanie Ortigue, he is the inventor of the Passion Meter, an international patent for the neurobiological detection of the passionate state, selected in 2007 for the TechConnect World Innovation Summit, the leading US platform for high-impact translational innovation (Research Triangle, USA).
Elected Class Patron and best teacher of the 2016 cohort by the students of the Faculty of Medicine, he has taught and published for more than twenty-five years on the scientific, clinical and human dimensions of desire and the romantic bond. Beyond the strictly academic sphere, he has long brought together scientific research and poetry. Drawn to poetic writing from an early age, he was selected to present his texts at the POESTATE International Literature Festival in Lugano in June 2023, before completing in 2026 an unpublished collection titled Frane Di Luce.
His poetic world, written and performed in Italian and French, explores a language that is sensitive, musical and deeply personal.
