Francois Bayle

Electrucs!

Never released before: on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the GRM, the composer François Bayle introduces us to some of his unpublished archives. Born in 1932 in Madagascar, François BAYLE is a major figure of electro acoustic music and member of the historic Pierre Schaeffer's "Groupe de Recherches Musicales" (GRM). In 1975, the GRM was integrated with the new Institut national de l'audiovisuel (INA) with Bayle as its head, which post he held until 1997. Ever since his first productions (“L’expérience acoustique” 1971) François Bayle has developed through a great variety of formats and designed the Acousmonium a sound diffusion system used originally by the GRM. After leaving GRM in 1997, he founded his own electronic music studio and record label Magison.
