Welcome to my personal website!

I’m Frederik Bous, a researcher in sound and AI and co-founder and technical lead at Studio Cucurbits., where I develop audio instruments and creative technology with composer Sachie Kobayashi. My work connects machine learning, signal processing and artistic practice.

Previously, I was a Research Scientist at Supertone in Seoul, working on voice representations, text-to-speech and voice editing. I completed my PhD at Sorbonne Université and IRCAM in Paris, collaborating with composers, filmmakers and installation artists to bring voice research into creative work.

As a musician and composer myself, I’m interested in tools that let artists shape sound directly, from controllable voice models to real-time audio effects.
