ABOUT

I am a harpsichordist, guitarist and composer working within the interstices between early music practices, noise improvisation, experimental composition and trans*feminist epistemologies.

Based between Marseille, France, and Basel, Switzerland, I am currently working with instruments such as microtonal organ, harpsichord, clavichord and electric guitar on open compositions that combine 16th-century experimentation into microtonality and improvisation with contemporary performance practice. These care- and risk-taking collaborative processes happen through deep exploration of tones and timbres, and are being developed alongside research into queer phenomenology and trans*feminist notions of dis/orientation, dis/identification, entanglement and social engagement. The term “decomposition” has come to summarize the overall nature of these projects, as much in terms of concept as practice.

I’ve released music on Editions Wandelweiser, Creative Sources, Insub. Records, Tombed Visions, and play with the Insub Meta Orchestra and Unorthodox Jukebox Orchestra. I’ve toured Europe and North America with improvised music projects, and my podcast Echo Chamber (2017-2020) dealt with the philosophical, social and emotional aspects of experimental music-making.

I hold ABRSM Grade 8 in Harpsichord and Classical Guitar and studied composition at the University of Edinburgh and electroacoustic composition at the Marseille Conservatory. I graduated with MA in Open Creation (Improvisation) from the Hochschule für Musik, Basel in 2023, and am currently terminating a year of research within the Music and Research department there. I also translate texts for French new music publishers Maison ONA and Artchipel.

Feel free to get in touch to inquire about current and upcoming projects!
