Workshop feedback
Following two years of experiments and practices led by various artists with a group of patients and care staff at Valvert Hospital Center, a cine-concert-style show was created and broadcast within several events in 2014 and 2016.
To maintain the bond created between these participants during this first adventure, the gmem and its partners have made this action a permanent feature of the CH. From January to June, Valvert's amateur musicians spent around twenty hours practicing directed improvisation and electroacoustic creation. At the last workshop of the year, they will present the fruits of their labor in the form of a short concert.

A French guitarist with a rock background, specializing in free improvisation and sound experimentation, Jean-Marc Montera uses the entire range of amplified and acoustic strings - resonance, percussion, distortion, extensions and detour of all kinds. Among the most active musicians in the field of improvised music, he has been multiplying his encounters and contacts with other artistic worlds since the 1970s, to the point of blurring the "barrier" between genres.
Loïse Bulot
sound artist, composer
Loïse Bulot learnt to play the piano at the age of seven, and went on to study graphic arts in Paris, then at the Beaux-arts in Marseille, where she produced her first sound pieces. She then joined the electroacoustic composition class at Marseille's Conservatoire National à Rayonnement Régional. She composes acousmatic pieces for concerts (France, Mexico, Spain), exhibitions ("Marseille-Alger, villes en mutation", sound installation for the Laterna Magica Festival in Marseille in 2011...) and radio creations (international informal network of free radios, Radia). She won the 2nd Luigi Russolo Prize in 2014 (electroacoustic composition). At the same time, she pursues her visual work and for several years has been offering workshops in artistic practices.
Nicolo Terrasi
sound artist
After graduating in classical guitar at the Palermo Conservatory, and researching and creating Sicilian folk music (Tammorra and Ballarò ensembles), he continued his training in Paris, at the "Georges Bizet" Conservatory in the 20th arrondissement and the "Alfred Cortot" Normal School of Music. He followed courses in analysis and electroacoustic composition at the Conservatoire National à Rayonnement Régional de Marseille, where he obtained a unanimous diploma and a SACEM prize. He creates music for documentary films, theater and exhibition installations. His artistic approach involves research into the composition of acousmatic, instrumental and mixed music, as well as the practice of free improvisation.
