Emmanuelle Gibello
Project: nocinema.org
Emmanuelle Gibello was born in Paris. She graduated from l’université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne with a Masters in visual arts in 1999.
Since 2001 she have been developing a practice which combines visual art and electronic music.
New media technologies have become her tools of choice.
She use new technologies for field recordings. In addition, new technologies allow her to manage various media (sound, image, text…) in real time. Furthermore, new media has enabled her to produce work either for solo performances or works incorporating networks. Her field recordings are taken from both natural and urban contexts.
She use electronics tools: such as the internet, video camera, microphones and modified microphones to explore concrete and synthetic sounds in all their different layers. This collection contains archival sounds from the quotidian as well as more thematic research conducted during her travels.
This library is the starting point for her compositions and live sound mixing.
Her work is also inspired by literature (Didier Anzieu, Samuel Beckett, Philippe K. Dick, Haruki Murakami…). Texts either have a simple inspirational function or are read and recorded to become a material in her repertoire. She question the relationship between sound and image, soundscape and memory. She revisit urban space aesthetically through sound. Through field recording of contemporary soundscapes, modified by Man, she attempt to offer a fresh perception of the complexity of the modern world. Her electroacoustic works take the form of live performance played by her or other performers.
