Dyens was born in Tunis, Tunisia. He studied guitar with the Spanish classical guitarist Alberto Ponce and analysis with Désiré Dondeyne. He has won several prizes in competitions for classical guitar performance as well as for composition.
As a performer, Dyens is known for his extraordinary capacity for improvisation. Essentially unique among classical guitarists, Dyens frequently opens his concerts with an improvised piece, in order to help him get a feel for the hall and the audience. His guitar music draws on many elements of folk music and jazz, and has become popular with players. Tango en Skaï (1985), is one of his best-known pieces, but also widely played is the more extended Libra Sonatine (1986) written in three movements: "India", "Largo", "Fuoco", composed after Dyens had undergone heart surgery. Skaï is a French slang term for imitation leather, and here references the Gauchos of Argentina and Southern Brazil who are known for their distinctive leather outfits. Hence Tango en Skaï is a humorous, gaudy take on the tango. In addition to being the most prolific guitar composer of his generation, Dyens has also released several volumes of arrangements. Ranging from Jazz standards to Brazilian folk music, these arrangements have made their way into the repertoire of both professional and amateur guitarists. Dyens tours extensively and has performed at many music festivals and held master classes at many locations across Europe, the United States and Asia.
He taught at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, where he was Professor of Guitar.
He died on October 29, 2016 at the age 61.

@Additionalcaptain
Great. I like this with more emphasis bass notes and not using a light sounding legato on the high ones, otherwise it just doesn't sound right to me

Muy bella interpretación, Amanda Guzmán, muchas gracias. Quizás te faltase aquí, no ya efectividad en ésta obra, sino un poco más de desarrollo técnico en algunos pasajes, se echa en falta quizás que te emplearas en buscar un apoyando sin miedo, en los agudos, no tan encima de la boca, fundamentalmente con el objeto de ensalzar o destacar más clara y seguramente la melodía principal. 3:10 Se te veía un tanto incómoda o temerosa en ocasiones con el forte, si me permites el apunte... Es lo único, de verdad en lo demás, los arpegiados, fraseos y acordes, excelente. En todo caso ya se que es muy difícil que una grabación, la interpretación salga al cien por cien coorrecta, claro, jeje. He analizado lo que quedó plasmado en el vídeo, por supuesto, no a ti como guitarrista, tu ya tienes que tener ésto más que superado, jajaa. Un abrazo, y hablando de todo me encantaría hacer un dúo de guitarras contigo, te lo digo completamente en serio, ¿qué me dices? ¿Sigues con la guitarra? 🙂
