What would this be? Figured basses imposed as a composition exercise?
"J’ai voulu composer un accompagnement de chant pour Schaeffer, j’ai voulu me rappeler mes « basses données » des devoirs d’harmonie et, dans ce que je présente aujourd’hui c’est une basse continue sans les fameuses mélopées curieusement tonales/atonales."

He is perhaps better known today through his keyboard harmony exercises, Basses et Chantes Données which was a favorite teaching tool of his pupil, the legendary pedagogue Nadia Boulanger, and subsequently many of her students including Narcis Bonet who has republished a selection of these exercises under the title Paul Vidal, Nadia Boulanger: A Collection of Given Basses and Melodies".

Réaliser une basse donnée, signifie « enchaîner correctement les accords au-dessus de cette basse », tandis que réaliser un chant donné, signifie « enchaîner correctement les accords au-dessous de ce chant » (on peut dire aussi : harmoniser une mélodie).
