bio
Composer of mixed, instrumental and electroacoustic music. Trained in viola and improvisation at the Paris Conservatoire of Music, she holds a Master’s degree in contemporary history. She develops a compositional aesthetic at the crossroads of improvised, experimental and electroacoustic music. She is an associate artist with L’Envolée (77), and was awarded grants by the Route du Jazz and the Royaumont Foundation as a composer. Her Mad Maple project was presented at the World Biodiversity Forum in Davos in June 2024, and her new work Chorème will be premiered in June 2026 with researchers Damien Delorme and Yann Tremblay.
Her work is deeply rooted in contemporary, social and environmental issues. Her compositional process always combines improvisation with sound material, constantly embracing the risks inherent in the moment. For the past ten years, she has been developing research into instruments augmented with electronic effects and, in recent years, her work has drawn her towards methods of recording and composing soundtracks in close collaboration with sound engineer Céline Grangey (lecturer at CNSMPD). She is interested in the conditions of sound transmission and processing, as well as listening protocols. She continues her research by exploring the capture and use of sounds from our environment (geophony, biophony) as they are, but also transformed into sound objects: sampling, filtering, panning, modular synthesis. Over time, the creative process, the conditions of its implementation and its transformation over time have become as important as the work itself and the ways in which it is presented.
Since 2017, she has been the artistic director of the gArden company and label, and has notably created: THREE DAYS OF FOREST, a free songs trio with Angela Flao on vocals and Blanche Lafuente on drums, winner of Jazzmigration 2018, based on poems by English-speaking female authors (Rita Dove, Charlotte Perkins Pilman…) MAD MAPLE, a mixed electroacoustic and improvisational work with Elodie Pasquier on clarinets, Guillaume Magne on guitar, and Céline Grangey on soundtracks; SIMONE, an Occijazz award-winning quartet, featuring Sophie Bernado (bassoon), Tatiana Paris (electric guitar) and Marine Flèche (drums); DUO MORFIN/ ZIAD with Malik Ziad, composer and multi-instrumentalist on viola, guembri and mandola, a Royaumont Prize-winning project; CHORÈME for string quartet and soundtracks in collaboration with researchers and Yann Bagot, visual artist.
She performs with numerous musicians from diverse backgrounds, such as Joëlle Léandre’s Tentet, Jean-Marie Machado’s Danzas, Fred Pallem and Le Sacre du Tympan, Piers Faccini, Andy Emler, Thomas de Pourquery, the ONJ, the Régis Huby Quintet, Antoine Berjeaut, Sekouba Bambino, Joce Mienniel… She collaborates with composer-poet Jacques Rebotier and writer Violaine Schwarzt on ‘IO467’, and composes the music for several dance performances for Joana Schweizer and Antoine Arbeit. Since 2022, she has also been collaborating with painter and visual artist Yann Bagot on experimental concert formats and sound installations. She is in residence at the Théâtre de Vanves and the Comptoir in Fontenay, and has been hosted at the Atelier du Plateau, La Dynamo, the Petit Faucheux, Le Plan in Ris-Orangis and the RESET festival.
She has been artistic director of the gArden company since 2017 and plays a hybrid viola created in collaboration with luthier Patrick Charton.
