Research residency with a view to recording a CD/DVD.
In South America, the art of weaving narratives in the manner of nocturnal dreams is widespread in native culture, their fragmentary mode, their irresolute, suspended character. The music of Mutantes resembles this. Angélica's sound work and compositions focus on fragility, dream worlds and the subconscious. Natacha revives tunes and songs on the verge of obliteration, ancestral and noisy languages of childhood. Aude is dedicated to experimentation, focusing her work on the search for any sound material that can be extracted from her instrument.
The three musicians dig, tinker and inject their instruments with hybridizations, fragments both familiar and unfamiliar, weaving a cinema for the ear.
The interweaving of time, space and nocturnal planes, pulsating holes, broken textures and languages, memory survivals - these are all superimposed within this sonic matrix that unfolds like a tale.

Angélica Castelló
Composer, sound artist
Her sound work and compositions focus on fragility, dream worlds and the subconscious.
She performs continuously as a soloist and in cooperative ventures between Mexico City and Vienna. Numerous compositions for ensembles, radio works and installations at the crossroads of music, performance and the visual arts. Numerous publications on labels such as Interstellar records, Mikroton records, Monotype records, Mosz etc.
Aude Romary
Cellist
She devotes herself specifically to improvisation and experimentation, focusing her work on the search for any sound material that can be extracted from the instrument. She evolves in correspondence with dance, text, painting and drawing, light, poetry and comic strips, but also solo, in various duos (with Barbara Dang , Christophe Cardoen, Jérome Noetinger) or in Ensemble 1, a vast collective of improvisers brought together by David Chiesa.
Since 2014, she has been artistic director of the Bruissement association, which produced Discordes, then limbe, with Christophe Cardoen (lighting), Natacha Muslera (voice) and Stefano Taiuti (dance).
Natacha Muslera
Vocalist, improviser, composer, researcher and filmmaker
Somewhere since childhood, Natacha has been developing a language of resistance she calls langue des bois. This language is imbued with sound ecosystems, ritual songs and ancestral poems on the verge of extinction. As a result, her experiments confront both vocal potential and issues of normality and aesthetics, i.e., the limits we assign to the voice, such as register, gender, class and dominant language.
Nurturing free and collective vocal practices is vital for the artist, and she has thus breathed life into numerous choirs in a variety of contexts. On the other hand, the desire to listen, to weave links through play, unfolds thanks to numerous complicities: Chœur tac-til and Lionel Marchetti, Michel Doneda(Coyote), Le UN(improvisation society), Aude Romary and Anglelica Castelló(Mutantes), Christophe Cardoën, Jérôme Noetinger, Future folk stories, Stefano Canapa(L'année qui vient and Tienda oscura), Cécile Duval(Zaoum ba hump'f), Cécile Sans... and on the edge of time with eRikm, Catherine Jauniaux, Nicolas Gerber, Jean Sébastien Mariage, Wilfried Wendling, Jean-Carl Feldis, Terminal Beach, Oracle, Nodal...
