Alexandre Beaudet

Click on *bold* stuff to get more info !

I'm a french developer, musician and ~graphist.

As a developer I mainly do Graphics and Audio DSP programming using the C++ language, OpenGL and raw buffer manipulation (that's my current full-time job). I'm also ok with web development, Python scripting, and generally make anything (ie C program) work anywhere (ie web, mobile devices, etc.).

I'm also experimenting with shaders and other "artistic" compositions with code, mainly using GLSL, THREE.js, html5 canvas or whatever comes to mind

As a musician I do live sets and compositions using an eurorack modular synth, but also computer stuff, with Ableton and the usual suspects.

As a graphist I mainly do the visuals for my other projects (live gigs, applications). I did draw a lot more in the past (pen & paper) but not so much now.

_ I'll be mixing tchoons at Alex's Tavern in Rennes the next 8 March ! Come by :) There might be some borderline 170bpm tracks inside 😎

_ I've made a new EP ! It's called SINE and it's made using mostly pure sinewaves. I'm quite proud of it, mostly the overall coherence and artistic/technical intent. Go check it in the Music section below ! (I've also made a drum&bass track, go check it)

_ New section : Mixes. Scroll down thereeee

_ I've added links to my "BS Mixtapes" on YouTube. There's like 68 playlists so far, that I've made every month for the past uhhh *5 YEARS* 😳 It's at the bottom
