Julien Bayle, known professionally as Protofuse, is a French electronic musician and music software trainer born in February 1976. Raised in the South of France, he pursued studies in Biology and Computer Sciences in Marseille. During his academic years, Bayle delved into minimal techno, drawing inspiration from artists like Carl Craig and Surgeon. His exploration of music software began with tools such as Cubase 1.0 and Generator, the precursor to Reaktor.
