Laurent Hilairet


Musician - Composer

  • I use Prodipe material regularly, in various contexts ranging from studio to live and as educational material. What is appreciable is to have learner musicians and professional musicians play on the same equipment, financially accessible without compromising on quality. Prodipe makes us revise the "if it's more expensive it's better" in favor of "what do your ears think?" ".

    The tariff is then the icing on the cake. Thank you Prodipe.

    In the studio, PRO 5 V3 monitoring speakers are remarkably precise. I use them with the PRO 10S V3 box which gives even more dynamics to the listening. I always like to see the faces of musicians accustomed to studios equipped with reference speakers who end up asking me: "what are your little speakers there?" ". In view of the quality, the price leads us to ask ourselves questions about what we buy in a “reference” brand.

    I regularly use the PRO 880 headphones in the studio, whether for takes or during a mix. The top of the spectrum is chiseled but without aggressiveness and the mids remain particularly balanced, which prevents me from turning up the headphone feedback and makes the sessions very comfortable. I did not find listening quality and comfort equivalent to this price.

  • I use Prodipe equipment regularly, in various contexts ranging from the studio and the stage to teaching. What’s valuable is being able to have music students and professional musicians play with the same equipment, accessible price-wise without compromising on quality. Prodipe tells us that it's not ‘If it’s more expensive, it’s better,’ but ‘What do your ears tell you?’

    So the price is the icing on the cake. Thanks, Prodipe.

    I use the TT1 Pro-Lanen Instruments mic for live performances with my Handpan and other percussions. The sound is accurate and dynamic, even outdoors. Harmonics are maintained and the bandwidth stays much wider than with other mics of large brands intended for the same use. I’ve found the mic for me, it’s as simple as that. 

Biography

Passionate about composition and improvisation, Laurent Hilairet is a musician-teacher, multi-instrumentalist and group coach.

After having followed a standard musical course up to the Nantes Conservatory in jazz piano, Laurent Hilairet opened his musical practice to new instruments (Chapman stick, Hand pan and percussion) as well as to various musical styles. He has participated in Western Trio and Western of the Nantes collective 1name4acrew, as well as in the group 1band4acrew. These projects have allowed him to play and record with Eric Truffaz and Fédérico Pélégrini from the French Cowboys, among others.

At the same time, he played Warr Guitar in the group MoTa, which led him to meet Bijan Chémirani (zarb and oriental percussions). Human and musical encounter which really put him in contact with the richness of world music.

He has been a musician-teacher for several years in various structures as a multi-instrumentalist, group coaching and improvisation / composition. Among other things, he uses digital technologies as an educational medium and makes learners aware of the basics of recording and the world of the studio.

He started working with Mandalia musique to set up Hand Pan workshops on Clisson in 2018. The recording and distribution of an album around this instrument via this label structure is under study.

Artistically, he is currently focusing on his electronic music project WILD and releasing an album entitled L'Aube during the fall of 2017. He trained in studio recording for the occasion, and therefore partly used material from Prodipe (headphones, microphones, monitoring speakers ...). This return to analog synths is in a way a return to his roots, because it is these sounds that made him want to make music when he was younger.

WILD is currently finding its echo through two other projects: Bokk ”, which is a mixture of electronic music, with Matéo Guyon on vibraphone and percussions, as well as Fabrice L'Houtellier on drums; as well as Drift, which is a meeting between WILD, Tom Leclerc on machines and Pauline Villain on vocals.

He also plays in J-L Ouvrard's Blue Dream project (guitar) and plays the piano alongside Olivier Chabasse (double bass) and Matéo Guyon (percussion) in Tree Home, a mixture of jazz and world music.

His passion for composition and improvisation has now become the common thread of his artistic approach.
