Franco-Swiss composer, director and choreographer, born in 1989, I see each work as an artistic experience that challenges conventions, awakens the senses, creates bonding and raises questions. I work with instruments, the voice, the body, space and technology. My creations take many forms: from musical pieces (instrumental, electronic) to choreographic, theatrical or poetic productions, conceived from the outset in their relationship to sound. Driven by a desire to deepen the interdisciplinary nature of my work, I founded the Compagnie Mixt Forma in 2020.
I am fond of both the concert format and an expanded practice of composition. Any element of the creative context can become a parameter of the work, which is thus often written for a specific venue, performers or audience. The collaborative and inclusive dimension plays a central role in this approach. It influences not only the way in which the works are constructed, but also the way in which they are perceived and shared.
Main projects
In 2023, with the show Laquelle se passe ailleurs, the Compagnie Mixt Forma performs at the Grande Salle of the Centre Pompidou during the Festival Manifeste in Paris. In 2022, I compose and direct my first opera, commissioned by the Opéra national de Lorraine and the Musica festival, a true laboratory of open-air lyrical creation, reaching out to city dwellers. In 2019, my final piece for the Ircam Cursus Ça va bien avec comment tu vis marked a turning point in the way music, technology, contemporary dance and poetry are fused.
The commissions of works by musicians and orchestras such as the Divertimento Ensemble, the Adapter Ensemble, the Interface Ensemble, the soyuz21 Ensemble and the Bern Chamber Orchestra allow me to take on new challenges that enrich my musical research, while focusing on a sensitive approach to listening and on the emotion produced by all the facets of the work.
Grants
As a freelance artist, I have been supported by several organisations such as the Nicati-de Luze Foundation and the Art Commissions of the Canton of Bern (Atelier at the Cité internationale des arts) and the Aargauer Kuratorium (Werkbeitrag). Together with Pierre Lison, I am also a laureate of the dance commission for emerging choreographers of the Beaumarchais-SACD association. My participation in numerous residency programmes (Abbaye de Royaumont, ICST, etc.) and calls for projects (IMD Darmstadt, Livorno Music Festival, Merge up!, etc.) throughout my career has also contributed to its enrichment.
Educational background
I studied composition, experimental music theatre, computer music and musicology. My studies at the Bern Academy of the Arts (HKB), the University of Bern and IRCAM (Cursus 18-19) have enabled me to meet many different and inspiring personalities, including Xavier Dayer, Christian Henking, Daniel Weissberg, Françoise Rivalland, Jennifer Walshe, Pierre Sublet, Thierry de Mey and Simone Conforti. As a doctoral student at the University of Geneva as part of the HKB research project ‘Schreiben mit Stimmen’, funded by the SNSF, I am currently devoting my thesis to the verbal compositions of the composer and linguist Hans Wüthrich under the direction of Nicolas Donin and Michael Harenberg.
