Sylvie Noel creates sounds, receiving, exploring, sculpting and mixing the acoustic and electroacoustic sources; she is also a composer.
Related to a specific environment, her phonographies or installations are seen on site as postcards, sonic viewpoints inviting the audience to devise some form of re-reading or interpretation of the site, be they gardens, parks, chapels, museums, culture clubs, former industrial sites, factories…
Particularly sensitive to the paths of Lives, she alternately uses voices and sound recordings to tell tales or to deliver stories, anecdotes, feelings, forebodings, and to convey marvels, indignations.
Her personal testimonies resort to an enlightenment of intimacies and personal or professional lives, short-lived staged instants for the audience to hear, through evasive sound vibrations.
Being abstract, her music turn sounds into subtle and living matter, ending into hybrid sonic spinoffs.
She loves exploring and mingling different artistic forms such as plastic arts, dance, sculpture, photography, video, lights, design … as many elements tapped to enhance and spatialize sound and visual, living and luminous phenomena.
