ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Open to musicians and "non-musicians"
This workshop is an open invitation to take part in a collective process of listening, interpreting, and performing a series of graphic scores I've been developing over the past years. The pieces are built around soundscapes and use the stopwatch as a structural tool, allowing for a shared sense of time and form.
Rather than relying on traditional notation, the scores invite participants to respond intuitively to visual cues, textures, and imagined geographies. Each piece becomes a kind of fictional reconstruction of a diffuse territory.
No prior experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to listen, play, and explore sound together. The workshop will end with a public performance as part of the Sunday Sessions program at Koncertkirken.

Mélanie Loisel
After several years in documentary filmmaking, Mélanie Loisel devoted herself to music. This french double bassist with classical training (DEM at the Tours Conservatory) moved toward free improvisation and more experimental research. She created the performance Crâne Cru with Fabien Delisle, then the piece AU SEUIL, a ritual concert based on traditional funeral music, with soprano Mathilde Barthélémy. This was followed by soundtracks for theater and dance (Möbius-Band company, Vialuni company). She occasionally collaborates with Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy's Tachycardie ensemble and develops a duo with pianist and accordionist Rachel Langlais (Dothe, Le Grand Couturier), on the border between improvisation and writing. With Frédéric Mancini (Deux boules Vanille, Fééric), she created TZZ, a modular synth, electric bass and vocal duo. She recently joined Le Grille-Pain in Grenoble to create a new recumbent poetry collection, initiated by musician Xavier Machault.
With her solo project Borguefül (released on the Pagans and La République des Granges labels and soon on Carton Records for the second album), Mélanie Loisel summons, by inventing her own forms, a childhood heritage linked to the traditional music of Auvergne.
Borguefül is an upright-bass solo with voice and effects, kind of contemporary songs with multiple prints.
With her double bass, played primarily with a bow, Mélanie Loisel transports the audience into an imaginary, fantastical, even magical realm.
The atmosphere of the pieces is reminiscent of traditional music, yet colored by numerous incisions of contemporary, even noisy, and classical playing. Borguefül materializes an invisible musical world, made of melancholic vibrations, sometimes leading to small trances.
