Introduction

Soundtracks for films that don't exist.

Ubaye is the musical project of Joakim Gautier, a French artist and producer based in Paris, France.

Moving between electronic music, ambient textures and cinematic influences, Ubaye explores the relationship between sound, imagery and emotion. Each album unfolds as a world of its own, shaped by atmosphere, contrast and sonic landscapes.

Inspired by cinema, travel and places that leave a lasting impression, the project embraces creative freedom rather than the boundaries of a particular genre. The music shifts between introspection and intensity, light and darkness, always driven by the same intention: to evoke images, tell stories beyond words and leave room for the listener's imagination.

The name Ubaye draws inspiration from the Alpine valley in southern France, a landscape of vast spaces and striking contrasts that reflects the project's connection to nature, memory and escape.

Combining sound experimentation, digital production and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, Ubaye approaches each tool as part of a broader creative process, guided by a personal artistic vision.

Music available on all major streaming platforms.

Where to start?

Below, you will find a summary table of the albums, organized by sequence and style. This classification is based on the primary characteristic of the work. Some works may fall into multiple categories.

So, if you have a preference for a particular musical style, albums within that genre serve as a good entry point. And if songs that place a central emphasis on lyrics make a real difference to you, you can focus on albums that highlight this characteristic.

Note : The early albums (1 to 7) are primarily instrumental.
