He created the disc label and supported the development of advanced-technology musical instruments (SYTER; Grm Tools; Midi Formers; Acousmographe). In 1992 he founded the Acousmathèque, a directory of more than 2000 works dating back to 1948.
Leaving the GRM in 1997, François Bayle sets up his own multiphonic studio, the Studio Magison. The label has released 20 CD of his works.
