The history of TitaniumSound™
In a few dates...
TITANIUMSOUND was founded in 2005 by Dr Frédéric Bousquet, under the original name of Structures Sonores Atelier Bousquet.
Dr Frédéric Bousquet has a triple background in music (percussion prize from the Toulouse Conservatoire), science (Master's degree in Aeronautical Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bordeaux 1 & Doctoral thesis in Aesthetics, Science and Technology of the Arts from the University of Paris 8) and technology, having been trained in sound sculpture by Bernard Baschet (1917-2015) and François Baschet (1920-2014). As such, he is the designer of the latest generation of Baschet crystals from 1997 to 2012 and the repository of their know-how.
TITANIUMSOUND reveals the historiography of euphone. It specialises in the design and manufacture of a range of euphones, notably extending the tessitura, sound homogeneity, timbral quality and repertoire. Acoustic research led to the production of melodic percussion instruments in stainless steel, the Ludophones™ (kalimbas, musical metal harps), then in titanium.
The sound design activity takes place in the INVENTOR recording STUDIO next door to the workshop. National and international composers and sound designers commission unique sound databases, the result of acoustic sound synthesis.
