Ioa Beduneau announces debut album ‘Mélodies pour Clairons’ on Marionette, out 21 November 2025
Ioa Beduneau
The French electronic experimentalist Ioa Beduneau will release his debut full-length “Mélodies pour Clairons” via Marionette on 21 November 2025. The album blends modular synthesis with reimagined medieval trumpet textures and electroacoustic detail. Formats include 12″ vinyl (180g) and digital download.
Across six compositions – “Bête ivre,” “Bêtes heureuses,” “Volante,” “Cloches & Trompes,” “Une Flaque sous les Bois I,” and “Une Flaque sous les Bois II”- Beduneau explores physical modelling, bioacoustics, and the movement of air and resonance around the clairon. This is Beduneau’s debut album for Marionette. The single “Cloches & Trompes” was released ahead of the full length.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
