Sillons Sonores is a regional listening tour focusing on projects by Grenoble-based company Les Harmoniques du Néon, showcasing and sharing the diversity of its artistic and musical activities.
Three of the company's projects will be supported in partnership with four partner organizations, each with very different contexts and sizes: 3 bis f, a contemporary arts center in Aix-en-Provence (13), Le Milieu – Le Phare à Lucioles association in Sault (84), Vélo Théâtre, a subsidized theater in Apt (84), and the Numéro Zéro festival – La Miroiterie association in Forcalquier (04).
Between 2026 and 2027, the aim will be to support both the production and dissemination of the company's musical performances (Le flou sur la langue, Ce qui nous reste) but also to facilitate the implementation of artistic workshops for local people, some of which will culminate in a participatory performance,La langue du Perroquet, in Sault.
Les Harmoniques du Néon are renowned for the diversity of the artistic formats they offer, which enable them to shine within a very extensive network of distribution and creation: shows, performances, sound installations, radio plays, etc. These projects sometimes arise from commissions, sound research, or residencies in non-dedicated spaces or living environments (nursing homes, institutional care centers, etc.): they all share a common interest in listening, drawing inspiration from and taking into account the social contexts in which they are created. It is to support this artistic endeavor, which successfully combines experimentation, participation, and accessibility, that these four cultural institutions have chosen to join forces.
Les Harmoniques du Néon is subsidized by the DRAC Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and the City of Grenoble (2025-2027).
The company receives project support from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, the Department of Isère, the Maison de la Musique Contemporaine, and ADAMI. It is a member of Futurs Composés, a national network for musical creation.
Sillons Sonores is a cooperative project coordinated by Le Vélo-Théâtre, a subsidized theater for object theater and the intersection of arts and sciences.

Anne-Laure Pigache
Vocalist and performer
Working in the field of sound poetry, at the crossroads of theater and experimental music, Anne-Laure Pigache is interested in the state of improvisation and the quality of presence that this state gives to performers. As a vocalist, she explores the musicality of language in particular. Observing everyday speech in order to bring out its musicality and poetry, she considers language as a sound event and is interested in the typologies of speech and their choral and musical potential. Through vocal play that manipulates the plasticity of speech, her performances question the boundary between sound and meaning. Radio is a medium she particularly enjoys exploring.
Anne-Laure Pigache participates in professional training courses offered by I&M and Longueur d'Ondes.
Anne-Julie Rollet
Electroacoustic musician
Anne-Julie Rollet composes and improvises electroacoustic music. She is particularly interested in radio sounds and the voices of others, which she explores and manipulates using, among other things, a transmitter and several radio stations with heterogeneous sound colors.
Her performance setup combines analog and digital tools, microphones, a computer, a Revox tape recorder, miscellaneous objects, and various speakers. The sources that make up her musical material, drawn from reality, sound bodies, or instruments, are captured, recovered, diverted, transformed, or even twisted, then projected. These sounds seek out encounters with living beings and blends with other artistic practices.
Anne-Julie Rollet works with the Observatoire des Politiques Culturelles and ESAD Valence-Grenoble. She teaches training courses with Longueur d'Ondes in Brest. In addition, in 2024-2025, she is associated with the latest creation by the Jeanne Simone company for public spaces, Animal Travail, and is creatingLes Tricoteuses with Sophie Agnel and Yuko Oshima.
Les Harmoniques du Néon
Les Harmoniques du Néon is a company based in Grenoble, active since 2012 and co-directed since 2018 by Anne-Laure Pigache (vocalist, performer) and Anne-Julie Rollet (electroacoustic musician). Together, they create polymorphic artistic forms (installations, concerts, shows, performances, radio plays, etc.) that question listening, the musicality of language, and social situations. Their work falls within the field of sound poetry and electroacoustic music. Their instruments of choice are the voice, the REVOX, and the radio, which they use in particular as a loudspeaker in acousmonium-type devices.
Les Harmoniques du Néon are extremely active, focusing on stage productions, sound commissions, training courses/workshops, research laboratories, and artistic workshops that they run for and with different groups of people they meet in institutional settings (schools, nursing homes, psychiatric facilities, medical-educational institutes, etc.).
They set up in all kinds of venues, indoor, outdoor, everyday, institutional, alternative, dedicated or non-dedicated, innocuous, museum, school, medical-social, or even on the radio. Les Harmoniques du Néon works through a network of diverse partners ranging from structures dedicated to creative music to venues or festivals for multidisciplinary creation.
