Pali Meursault
sound recordist, sound artist, composer, and author.
My electroacoustic research takes the form of compositions for records, radio creations, installations, and performances. Field recording is at the heart of a practice inherited from musique concrète and attentive to the sonic environment, even in the inaudible manifestations of infra- and ultrasonics, or radiophonic and electromagnetic phenomena.
For over 20 years, I have been taking my microphones and antennas in urban and industrial environments, in the Alps or the Amazon rainforest. My latest works explore workplaces, blend insect songs and electromagnetic fields, or examine the movements of glaciers.
I am involved in numerous experimental, musical, radio, and film collaborations: with the TT-Node collective, musicians Frédéric Nogray and Lee Patterson (FANT^MS), Nicolas Montgermont (Feral_Bands), Thomas Tilly (Melt*), and filmmakers Naïs Van Laer, Lili Reynaud-Dewar or Camille Llobet…
In addition to these activities, I also teach, coordinate projects, and write about sound cultures. Recently, I have edited the anthology Tetsuo Kogawa: Radio-Art published by UV Editions and was the guest curator of the exhibition Shaping the Æther at Espace Multimedia Gantner.
