GUIDING INTERESTS

Floy Krouchi works with sound as a phenomenon in its multiple dimensions : physical, plastic, instrumental, abstract, radiophonic.

She uses the vibratory and invisible qualities of this medium as a metaphore of unrevealed aspects of reality, questioning perceptions and creating disruptions in space and time. In her pieces, sound and silence are often forming an anthropological dispositive to collect, investigate and reorganise fragments of reality and identitites through orality. listening is considered as a practice of resistance -to imposed productivity of time, visual saturation, short span of attention- Lately, she is investigating the relation between technology, magic, and the technics of the avant garde (such as cut ups and surrealisme).

QUOTES

“Ive learned a lot on the job. First, through performing with this band, thewith n while experimenting with various influences and ideas, for example: the idea of working with recorded music lead to AT players and 8 tracks tape recorders. I initially did it for the sake of some projects and learned gradually, along the way. I studied some Jazz, harmony as an instrument and acquired a lot of knowledge as I advanced.”
