MÉLODIE BLAISON

https://melodieblaison.bandcamp.com/
Mélodie Blaison is a french artist, flutist and composer
based in Brussels.Integrating her classical training with
experimental production,her research is rooted in a desire
to create intimate experiences. She explores breath, voice
and sound material beyond classical frameworks. She
deconstructs the codes of interpretation and instrumental
forms to invent listening spaces where sound becomes a
vehicle for presence and relationship.
Her works take various forms — immersive installations,
interactive sound objects, collective performances, and
electroacoustic compositions — opening up a sensory
experience that blends contemporary rituals, sensitive,
narratives, and shared improvisations.
By creating hybrid instruments and placing the body at
the heart of the musical act, she questions the way we
inhabit and communicate with sound.Her work invites us
to rethink music as a living, fluid and open experience,
where listening becomes a moment of collective transformation.
SARA MOKRANI

Sara Mokrani is a French-Algerian composer who explores
generative sound from modular synths along with dreamy
melodies played on organ and oud. Inspired by pastoral
harmonies, her practice focuses on sequencing techniques
and pattern-based melodies that create a minimalist sound
architecture allowing us to explore the purest emotions.
