René-Louis Baron (born February 9, 1944 in Romans-sur-Isère) is a French inventor, author and songwriter. He was 14 years old when he played for the first time on stage as a jazz clarinetist. Later, in 1978, he began in Paris a career as solo singer.
In 1980, he began to use computers to record his music for films, advertising, large companies, theaters, singers and art galleries as well as his song-poems.
In 1989, he, a self-taught eclectic, began his own research into algorithmic composition and thus, musical artificial intelligence. In 1998, he filed the first patent for automatic musical composition at the National Industrial Property Institute in Paris.
While studying clarinet at the Conservatory of Music in his hometown, René-Louis Baron was quickly drawn to jazz. His first stage appearance was at age 14, with a New Orleans style band. From 1960 to 1974, he sang hit songs with various Lyonnais bands, such as Jean Trial, Pol Malburet, Eddie Léo and Maurice de Thou, mainly in south-eastern France.
He shared his passion for creativity with students by visiting schools and giving seminars. He introduced students to Alex Osborn and the technique of brainstorming in the field of artistic creation.
His songwriting and performing period began in Paris in 1978 with the release of his first album of musical poetry Baron chante Cousin et Dorigné.
was a French poet and playwright. His abrupt form of writing and his very personal creative metaphorical style greatly influenced Baron.
Michel Dorigné was a poet, playwright and musicologist. The diversity of topics and flexibility of his writing, in particular "J'agonise": "We've lowered our Gods from heaven ...", its clever allegories that can mix a scathing first degree: "The stripper ate too much...", have greatly inspired the composer. They collaborated closely until the poet's death in 2009.
In 1980, Iris Clert created the C.A.R.A.T. (Centre for Art Animation and transcendental Research) in Neuilly-sur-Seine, the final manifestation of her inclination to irony and unconventionality. She then organized an exhibition of paintings by Louise Barbu and diffused continuously Boushaâme, a sonorous fresco (specially composed by RLBaron) which offers a musical view about the painter's work. The composer continues in this vein with the works of the Serbian painter and sculptor Milos Sobaïc about whom Peter Handke wrote an essay which Alain Jouffroy produced in a monograph (book of art of his artistic work).
