Marie-Cécile Reber
Deep listener, Soundartist, Researcher
At the heart of Rebers working methods lies the subtle border between concrete noise and musical sounds. She is searching for sound in nature and, having dealt with microscopic noise structures for years, she has found ways to transform them into pictorial soundscapes and audible sounds. Which includes ant sounds, insect sounds... By engaging with natural and analogue sounds she has acquired a unique tonal palette that has become her instrument for concerts, installations and composing. The performance of her compositions is often placed within a natural environment (within a natural setting) with the result that the natural sound environment blends into her composition and vice versa.
