After four years as head of sound creation at an immersive creation studio, Rodolphe Macabéo is at the cutting edge of musical innovation, blending generative music, instrumental improvisation, spatialization and artificial intelligence to redefine the boundaries between electronic music and sound environments.
Field recordings and experimental listening devices - such as the stethophone and electromagnetic sensors - enable him to capture the raw essence of reality and open up his music to bioacoustic perspectives.
This meticulous attention to sound detail has enabled him, via the studio, to present his work in international institutions such as the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, UCCA Labs and the Boxes Art Museum in China, the Ludwig Museum in Budapest, MUTEK in Canada, as well as the Avant Galerie Vossen and the FRAC in France.
Today, Rodolphe thrives on immersive performances in which his innovative sound techniques combine the precision of stage performance with the intensity of electronic improvisation.
His first solo Ep 𝘿𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙡𝙖 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 released on 1 June 2025 shows a conscious return to his first loves of writing French lyrics, singing and playing guitar. These are the essential ingredients of what he calls the 𝘿𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙠, a style that takes on its full meaning when he spatializes all these elements on his 12.2 sound-system to make them dance around the audience.
