In 1989, he got his first prize in composition at the Royal Conservatory of Mons (class of Paul-Baudouin Michel). "Quatrain" for woodwind quartet won the "Irène Fuérison Prize" of the Royal Academy for Fine Arts of Belgium (1990). The silver medal of the International Academy of Lutèce (Paris) was decerned to him for his international composition competition.
Aesthetically, he was influenced by repetitive and minimalist music, but not only : a certain "romanticism" is present in his music, because he wants a direct communication with the public and not to compose for an "elite". In 1991, he founded the "Michel Lysight Ensemble", for the interpretation and the recording of his music. He's also conductor of "Nouvelles Consonances", the ensemble for contemporary music at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.
His catalogue contains around seventy works of all genres (chamber music, orchestra, piano...). All his music belongs to the New Consonant Music. Michel Lysight is currently a professor at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and in music schools in Brussels.
