Valentin Durif (FR)

Musician, sound artist and developer, Valentin Durif lives and works in Lyon, France. Having dabbled in electronic, rock, and ambient / experimental music, he started getting interested in translating electronic music into the physical world, by creating performances and installations made of DIY / ready-made sound machines and musical instruments.

He usually works on the hijacking of everyday objects, with the idea of creating sonic as well as visually immersive and impressionist landscapes, while also developing the idea of a musical gesture that is both meaningful and absurdist, with the questions of fragility and control always being central.His music has roots in IDM, noise rock or indus, as well as in more experimental veins of music creation.
