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.
