Stéphane Marin

Field recordings/electro-acoustic musician from Toulouse, France. Founder of Espaces Sonores (2). Zealot of sonic arts in public spaces, composer of multi-phonic electroacoustic music for live performance in free spaces, Stéphane Marin has been involved since 2003 in site specific artistic adventures which seek out atypical spaces to be discovered and listened to. On the border between listening to the soundscape and "in situ" compositions, in the porosity proposed by a work who rubs the real, Stéphane Marin's artistic, ecological and spiritual paths approaching each day a little closer to the silence. Following many collaborations and solo projects shared in France and represented internationally: Singapour, Medellìn, Mexico, Suwon, Beyrouth, Poznan, Grätz, Valladolid, Kilfinane, Manchester, Bruxelles, Saarbrüken..., in 2008 Stéphane created Espaces Sonores, an artistic company dedicated to contextual sound creation and arts of listening. His desire for spaces and his practice of sound push him to imagine devices and experiences that take the form of soundwalks or sound naps, listening ambulations with naked or "augmented" ears, or performative architectural sound installations.
