Akusmi

Akusmi is the recording name of Pascal Bideau, a composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer working from a studio in North London. His music combines repetitive minimalism, cosmic jazz and Fourth World influences, and his debut grew out of a trip to Indonesia where he heard gamelan and gong music. He is known for Fleeting Future, the first release on the Tonal Union label. Bideau studied at Goldsmiths, University of London, and has composed and produced music for feature films, documentaries and commercials, including the score for Le Théorème de Marguerite, shown at Cannes in 2023.
