M\u00e9lodie Blaison (Avignon, FR, 1992) is a French sound artist, composer, and flutist based in Brussels. She studied transverse flute at the Conservatoire of Nantes, then graduated in 2016 from the \u00c9cole des Beaux-Arts of Nantes. She later completed a postgraduate program in Sound Arts at the \u00c9cole Nationale Sup\u00e9rieure d\u2019Art of Bourges in 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her practice moves between performance, electroacoustic composition, field recordings, and the making of ceramic instruments. She works through writing, improvisation, and sound construction, approaching composition as a process shaped by material constraints, acoustic phenomena, and listening situations rather than fixed forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breath runs through her work as a central material. It shapes voice, instruments, and environments, opening shifting listening situations in which sound appears, transforms, and disappears depending on the conditions that carry it. This attention to circulation and instability informs a broader interest in composition as a relational practice, continuously evolving through interaction with space and performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her work explores forms in which interpretation, gesture, and listening unfold within open systems. Through scores and performative protocols, she develops frameworks where composition becomes a space of activation rather than representation, allowing sound to be shaped in real time through attention and collective dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her pieces combine acoustic and electronic textures, instrumental gestures, and field recordings, moving between performance, installation, and spatial composition. She also develops hybrid ceramic instruments activated by air and water, conceived as resonant devices that connect body, material, and environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her live recording Worn By Salt<\/em>, released on Final Image, documents a performance focused on listening and sonic transformation. Her second album, Avant Le Rivage<\/em> (2024), was released on Wabi-Sabi Tapes, following VINTVRI<\/em> (2022) on Grande Rousse Disques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her work has been presented across Europe, including at Glad Cafe (Glasgow), Beursschouwburg and Botanique (Brussels), Centre Pompidou, and Petit Bain (Paris).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
