Born in 1956, René Aubry is a self-taught musician who was encouraged to become a composer by the choreographer Carolyn Carlson, whom he first met in 1978.
During the next few years, he composed the music for numerous ballets by Carlson, his own favourites being "Blue Lady" (1982 - The Fenice Theatre, Venice), "STEPPE" (1990 - Théâtre de la Ville, Paris), and "SIGNES" (1997 – Opéra Bastille, Paris).
In 1986, Aubry worked closely with the puppeteer Philippe Genty, for whom he wrote the scores for "Dérives" and "Ne m' Oublie pas" (1989-1992, Théâtre de la Ville, Paris) and "Ligne de fuite" (2003 - Theater National Of Chailllot).

René Aubry is at the confluence of movements that are both complementary and contradictory. Between the electric and the acoustic, between the highbrow and the popular, between tradition and modernity, he has quite simply chosen not to choose.
Reflecting uncertain times, "Seuls au Monde" is particularly sombre and melancholic, yet it also has the light and beauty of a sincere soul, and a sense of humanity that has never been so evident.
His concerns are also ours, and this is reflected in the deep tonality of the album, which accentuates the mystery and reaches out to us.
Although its oniric visions are coloured by torment, the beauty emanating from this album nevertheless inspires hope.
