Text, music, and found sounds from the worlds in compositions

California- based composer, performer, and sound installation artist Laetita Sonami combines text, music, and found sounds from the worlds in compositions which have been described as “performance novels.” She recorded a surround version of “A Historical Moment on a line between A and B” and performed the work at the HERE arts center for New Instruments for Improvisation and Experimental Approaches. She was born in France and has received the Alpert Award in the Arts in 2002.

Sonami’s sound performances, live film collaborations and sound installations focus on issues of presence and participation. She has devised new gestural controllers for performance and applies new technologies and appropriated media to achieve an expression of immediacy through sound, place and body.
