Summary
Alexis Baskind is an audio engineer, composer and researcher with a PhD in Musical Acoustics and Signal Processing who builds tailored software and algorithms for immersive and multichannel listening systems. Based in Berlin, he blends a deep academic background from IRCAM and ENS Cachan with decades of hands-on work in contemporary music, theatre and dance, collaborating with leading composers and directors. He designs practical solutions that link live electronics, gesture and visual analysis to spatial audio, and is currently developing a binaural engine with head tracking alongside the Conservatoire de Paris. A seasoned educator, he has taught sound engineering and computer music across European conservatories and universities, mentoring the next generation of audio practitioners. His practice spans composing, record production and R&D, making him as fluent in artistic direction as in DSP and system integration. Notably, his career threads research-grade acoustics into performative contexts, turning complex scientific concepts into expressive musical tools.
