Marc Parazon
Composer, sound artist and sound engineer
His practice takes the form of sound creations, visual installations and stage performances.
With a degree in music studies and electroacoustic composition, he was selected for the GRM Banc d'essai, nominated for the Destellos competition, received a Jury Mention for the Métamorphoses prize, and was commissioned for the Présences Électronique festival at the Maison de la Radio.
Trained in sound recording and post-production tools at the École Nationale Supérieure Louis Lumière, he works as a sound recordist in the film industry, as well as for various institutions such as Ircam - Centre Pompidou. In this way, he enriches his practice with his professional knowledge and adds a cinematographic dimension to his works. He has also developed a radical musical approach to obsolete audio supports, and explores his practice as a musician in an interdisciplinary and undisciplined way.
On stage, he prefers to do without computers, preferring to use magnetic tapes and their manipulation, allowing the audience to see the transformations he puts sounds through.
His aim is to restore analog audio tools to their former glory, diverting them from their original use, imposing their physicality and playing with the characteristic sonorities of these media.
His installations offer an inventive re-reading of space, inviting the public to a sonic and plastic rediscovery of tools that are now obsolete.
He received a state commission for the piece "Stylus Dust", produced by CNCM Césaré.
