François de Roubaix (1939-1975) was a french multi-instrumentalist and
composer for commercials, TV series, and about 30 feature-length films.
De Roubaix had a home studio which he used a lot for both
experimentation and final tracks. He freely combined classical
(prerecorded) music with electronic instruments, early synthesizers and
rhythm boxes.
Notable in his style is his use of folk elements, as well as electronic musical instruments such as synthesizers and early drum machines. He is thus seen as a precursor of the French electronic music; In a decade, he created a musical style with new sounds, until his death at 36 in a diving accident.
