Renaud Bajeux is a Paris based french composer and sound designer born in 1985.
He likes to explore unknown sonic territories through field recordings, electronic or acoustic instruments, working constantly at the crossroads of harmony and noise, reality and imaginary, syntheticity and organicity. Even his music remains inherently experimental, it always carries a narrative and poetic dimension. He is currently working on a new project involving cello and modular syntheziser.
Hhis first approach to sound and music was through classical cello. He studied cello and chamber music at the Amiens Conservatory and graduated in 2003. Discovering afterwards concrete and experimental music and, he opened his ears and my mind to the musicality of any sound, from a morning forest soundscape to the most abstract synthesis.
Then he decided to study sound engineering at the ENS Louis Lumiere to explore the possibilities of sound recording and sound design. After graduating in 2009, he started collaborating with the INA-GRM as an electroacoustic interprete and sound engineer. In parallel, he started working as a sound designer and sound editor for cinema, on more than 50 movies (shorts, feature films, documentaries and experimentals)
Between 2017 and 2019 he recorded field recordings with electro-magnetic coils and composed his first album Magnetic Voices From the Unseen. After two selections in the INA- GRM Banc d’Essai contest and one in the Russolo Prize, it has been released as vinyle and digital LP by Nahal Recordings in october 2019.
From 2019 he has been mostly exploring modular synthesis, performing live and collaborating with Antoine Gilloire on a track named Underwater Soil, released by Superpang in 2021 and releasing his second LP Seeking a Vision on Fragments Editions in 2021.
