Short Description

In collaboration with the MU collective, Art Zoyd Studios has created a sound installation, ‘Le Bruit de l’air’1, based on a geolocation interface, for the Parvis Gérard Hourbette2, opposite the Phénix, scène nationale de Valenciennes. After paying homage to Gérard Hourbette in the first year, this installation aims to make this public square both musical and creative while showcasing young artists through annual calls for projects. Two versions of Le Bruit de l’air have already been produced.

Art Zoyd Studios, a music creation and production centre based in Valenciennes, supports contemporary musical creation with a specific focus on electronic and electro-acoustic aesthetics.

This year, as a tribute to Pierre Schaeffer on the 30th anniversary of his death, we are launching “Études de bruit 2025”.
