Daoust received from the seventh age of a piano education. At the age of sixteen he composed a film score for prepared piano, and at age nineteen he completed his first electroacoustic composition. From 1966 to 1971 he studied at the Conservatoire de musique du Québec piano with Irving Heller and composition with Gilles Tremblay, then electro-acoustic composition with Alain Savouret, Gilbert Amy and the Groupe de musique expérimentale de Bourges in France.

Already during his studies in Quebec he wrote with Maurice Blackburn and Norman McLaren film scores for the National Film Board ( NFB). After his return from France, he worked from 1976 to 1979 in the studios of the NFB. Since 1978, he taught at the conservatory solfege and music analysis. In the early 1980s, he initiated here the training program for electroacoustic composition.
