Introduction
Robin Coudert (born 1978), also known by his stage name Rob, is a French pop/rock musician, singer-songwriter, producer and film score composer.
Life and career
Coudert has played the piano since childhood. He studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
In 1998, he released a very first EP, for a Source Records compilation Musique pour un Enfant Jouet. Three years later, the highly instrumental album Don’t Kill came out on Source Records (Daft Punk, Air, Phoenix, etc.), and a second album Satyred Love in 2002.
At the same time, Rob worked with Sebastien Tellier and Phoenix on different projects. In 2005, he composed the original music of a short film, Pink Cowboy Boots, and produces several artists such as Melissa Mars (2005), Zaza Fournier (2008), Alizée, Adanowski (2010) or Leon Larregui (2011) - n°1 in Mexico. He also get on a new and complex work of art with the label Institubes : le Dodécalogue
His work, which clearly sounds as the original score of an imaginary movie, gets rewarded and asked in the film industry. Rob tops out with art house films : Belle Épine, Jimmy Rivière, Eperdument, Planetarium ; mainstream comedies : Radiostars, Populaire, nominated for César Award for Best Music Written for a Film or thrillers like Made in France. He deals also with horror movies Franck Khalfoun's Maniac (2012) and Amityville: The Awakening (2016), Alexandre Aja's Horns in 2014 and TV show in Eric Rochant's Le Bureau des Légendes (1rst season in 2015, 2nd season in 2016).
Working as a duo with producer Jack Lahana (who did a remix of Don’t Kill), with whom he crates Hippocampus Studio, Rob has become a reference in the small world of score music.
