It was while working as a sound technician at the National Film Board of Canada that Yves Daoust discovered electroacoustic music. His music is figurative, using sounds from nature and from daily life.
He has composed over thirty works for musical ensembles and theatre groups. A founding member of the Association pour la création et la recherche électroacoustique du Québec, and certified composer at the Canadian Music Centre, he also teaches electroacoustic composition at the Conservatoire de musique du Québec.
For l’Arsenal à musique, he composed the score for Eary Adventures and, together with Denis Gougeon, the music for Planet Baobab and Alice.

Acclaimed by audiences and critics in North America and in Europe, his work is accessible, dynamic and very melodious. In November 2000, the Conseil québécois de la musique awarded him an Opus for composer of the year.
Gougeon composed the music for Planet Baobab and Alice along with Yves Daoust.
