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 https://www.instagram.com/saramkrni/ 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. 1000 LEGS ( one off improv set ) https://www.instagram.com/1000legs https://on.soundcloud.com/0e6c11wotOppKiBcMz https://youtu.be/nLxTaD5m5tI?si=gwItjWsa5ezfjjvP https://youtu.be/A6BoUQeYZ_M?si=0BhJk-yMdwhDB5Vk 1000 legs muster a circus of freak performers from London to Bristol,1000 legs are a ghoulish-funforallthefamily-new- wave-electro-punk five piece based in Bristol.
