Diane Barbé

Diane Barbé is a French sound artist who bridges experimental music, bioacoustic research, and activism, exploring forms of interspecies resonance. Her electronic works include elements of drone music and microtonality, oscillating between dreamlike lightness and heavy dystopia. In her compositions, various flutes and field recordings are often heard, which may then merge into dub-like pulsations. Diane has long been creating a set of wind instruments, percussion, bird calls, and small sound devices called The Alien Kin, which she uses for outdoor performances. This year, she released an album musiques tourbes through the label forms of minutiae, which she will also present at LOM.

Clara Levy

Clara Levy is a French violinist and improviser. In LOM, she will present the album 13 Visions (2022, Discreet Editions). The album pays tribute to two prominent composers whose musical aesthetics and philosophies share many common features. The first is the German mystic Hildegard von Bingen (1098–1179), and the second is American composer Pauline Oliveros (1932–2016). On the album, as well as in live performances, Levy transcends the blurred boundaries between interpretation and composition, blending mystical harmonies with the concept of deep listening, thus merging musical histories into vibrating drones. In addition, Levy collaborates with many other composers. Her music has been featured in various dance works, and as a performer, she has appeared on stages focused on experimental music, contemporary, and classical composition, such as Wiener Modern, Donaueschinger Musiktag, Biennale Di Venezia, Théâtre de la Monnaie, Cafe OTO, Strasbourg Opera, Oscillation, and Bayreuther Festspiele.

d’incise

d’incise is a sound explorer who uses anything that can be considered a musical instrument—software, field recordings, non-musical objects, percussion, or harmonium. Recently, he has focused once again on analog electronic sources. He is interested in musical reductionism, repetition, and conceptual approaches. He extracts musical elements down to the smallest details. Live, his works are characterized by slowness and obsessive exploration of simple processes. He does this within his solo work, in various improvisational groups, or as part of the collective Insub. This collective connects activities around the eponymous Geneva-based orchestra and label.
