What It Is

Bande de Son is a music production studio based in Paris, France, founded in 2019 by veteran musician Geoffroy Berlioz. Unlike mass-market SaaS audio tools, it is a typical B2B custom-service provider. Drawing on the founder’s decade of experience in the mainstream music scene—including collaborations with artists such as Matthieu Chedid—it turns professional music production expertise into commercial audiovisual services.

Core Dimensions

• Tool/Service Type: A music production and sound design studio that combines offline and online collaboration.
• Core Functions: Covers four main areas: original music composition, sound design/mixing, voice-over, and brand audio identity (Audio Branding). It is particularly strong in music supervision, offering end-to-end guidance from creative direction to sync licensing.
• Licensing & Copyright: In addition to custom original music, the studio also provides sync licensing services based on its own catalog and partner catalogs, including TELE MUSIC, AXS MUSIC, and SUPERPITCH under BMG, supporting commercial soundtrack needs across different budgets.
• Collaboration Capability & Catalog: The team consists of multiple established composers and operates two professional recording studios in Paris for voice-over and recording work. While the site does not disclose the exact number of tracks in its catalog, its styles cover common commercial music categories such as Folk, Electro, and Orchestra.
• Export & Compatibility: Post-production services include “mise aux normes” loudness-standard adaptation, ensuring audio meets professional broadcast standards for TV, streaming platforms, and similar channels.

Pricing

The website does not publish any pricing information or package plans. Quotes are fully customized based on project requirements, such as advertising, film, or brand identity work, and require contact via form or email.

Pros and Cons

Pros: Strong industry credentials, with clients including Burger King, Audi, and L'Oreal; full-chain service from composition to post-production; partnerships with major rights holders broaden the range of music available.
Cons: No self-service music selection or licensing platform, resulting in a higher barrier to entry; no transparent pricing; the all-French interface and localized operations are not friendly to non-French-speaking users.

Who It’s For

Best suited to advertising agencies, film and video production companies, and enterprises in Paris and across Europe that need high-end custom brand audio. It is not an ideal choice for independent creators who only need inexpensive stock music.

Access from China

The website is hosted in France and can be accessed directly from China, though loading speed may be affected by cross-border network conditions. The entire site is in French, with no English or Chinese version, which increases the communication burden.
