What I am doing now
Currently, I am a freelance author, composer, and performer. I create music on demand in my studio for all types of projects: soundtracks for documentaries, films, shows (theatre, dance, for children...), video games, artistic installations, etc...
My activity
I create soundtracks and original music for audiovisual, live performance, video games, artistic installations, etc...
I start from the commission I receive and I handle everything from A to Z, from the specifications we study together to the delivery of the mastered tracks.
My artistic practice is deeply rooted in both oral tradition music - Béarn and Landes - and contemporary, electronic, and experimental music.
To put it briefly, I am a contemporary traditional musician, in the sense that I live my music and always evolve it with the times I go through and what they bring me.
Like an incessant and invigorating back-and-forth that constantly renews my way of creating.
My practice
I am therefore, at the outset, a musician and singer of oral tradition.
I sing - mainly in Béarn Occitan - and I play multiple instruments: string tambourine, violin, guitar, modular synths, percussion, podorythmy.
As a lover of sound, living in our time, I enjoy experimenting, tinkering, and manipulating sound, the sonic material in every possible way... I use the capabilities of Ableton Live, Max MSP, as well as modular synths, samplers, and other drum machines...
Knowing how to question my certainties,playing the music that has been passed down to me while respecting its codes and/or transcending them with all the possibilities offered by our temporality are principles that guide my artistic practice and deeply colour my sonic universe.
I never hesitate to blend the organic and acoustic aspects of my voice and instruments with sound experimentation, amplification, or electronic music in order to create a unique, vibrant music that serves the projects I work on as accurately as possible.
My workspace
I do everything myself in my own studio.
... but I sometimes collaborate with other creators depending on the projects. Thus, I cross paths withThomas Baudoin, my brother, from time to time on certain projects and it's really great.
My sound creation studio is located at my home, in Béarn, right in the middle of the Jurançon vineyards. My setup is efficient and versatile.
I mainly compose and record in my studio, with quality microphones and a good sound card, but I can also do soundfield recording, outdoor recording, with a portable setup.
My main production software is Ableton Live, which I have been using for 20 years, and I sometimes pair it with Cubase for editing or Reason Studios for its versatility as a virtual studio in plug-in format. Since September 2025, I have been training in Max MSP to develop my independence in creating my audio tools.
To create the music I make, I also use my voice but also a collection of instruments with very particular timbres, especially traditional Béarnais instruments: string tambourine, three-hole flutes, violin, drone box... as well as traditional percussion (brama topin, shepherd's bells, drums...).
In addition, there are analog modular synths as well as digital ones, along with more conventional instruments (guitars, bass...).
