Renaud Bajeux debuts on Nahal Recordings with ‘Magnetic Voices From The Unseen’ – check it out
(Photo by Frédéric D.Oberland) Out now via the French label Nahal Recordings is the first album of French musician Renaud Bajeux.
The album, “Magnetic Voices From The Unseen”, is made from magnetic field recordings – using two electromagnetic coils. He further recorded hard drives, phones, computers, mouse devices, screens, etc, trying to acknowledge this infra-reality merging industrial noise music and harmonic chants.
Here is the Bandcamp embed to listen to the album (where you can also get the album on vinyl):
Trained as a cellist and sound engineer Renaud Bajeux works as a cinema sound designer and has been regularly collaborating with INA-GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales) for the last ten years. His music can be described as the crossroad of ambient, field recording and noise music.
For our regular readers, Nahal Recordings was created in 2018 by producer Paul Régimbeau (Mondkopf, Autrenoir, Extreme Precautions, FOUDRE!) and multi-instrumentalist / photographer Frédéric D. Oberland (Oiseaux-Tempête, Le Réveil des Tropiques, FOUDRE!, FareWell Poetry, The Rustle Of The Stars). With this label they want to produce – and we quote – “weird and wonderful vinyl records and physical objects (patches, silkscreen prints, T-shirts and the like) in limited editions”.
The project is also performing live, here is a live (in 2 parts) which Bajeux did at Live at the Chateau Perché Festival last Summer:
Support Side-Line
More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

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. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
