Tectonics 2023 Artist Profile
J茅r么me Noetinger
Jérôme Noetinger (1966) is a composer, improviser and sound artist who works with electroacoustic devices such as the Revox B77 reel-to-reel tape recorder and magnetic tape, analogue synthesisers, mixing desks, speakers, microphones, various electronic household/everyday objects and home-made electronica.
He performs both solo and in ensembles (Cellule d'Intervention Metamkine, Le Un, Hrundi Bakshi, Les Sirènes, Proton…), and collaborates often (Sophie Agnel, Lionel Marchetti, Aude Romary, Angelica Castello, Antoine Chessex, Anthony Pateras, Anne-Laure Pigache…).
From 1987 to 2018, he was the director of Metamkine, a non-profit organisation dedicated to the distribution of improvised and electroacoustic music. Between 1987 and 2014 Jérôme was a member of the editorial committee of the quarterly journal of contemporary sound, poetry and performance, Revue & Corrigée. For ten years from 1989, he was a member and programming co-ordinator of exhibitions, gigs, and experimental cinema at le 102 rue d'Alembert, Grenoble.
jFeedback: feeding oneself and sharing this meal with others.
Attracted by sound and its various representations, more than by music and the language it induces, electroacoustics opened doors to unsuspected sound worlds and made me pass from the position of listener/consumer to that of creator/producer. The practice of improvisation then allowed me to cross the studio/stage border. If I look at my practice over the last few years, I realise that it is centred around the notions of recovery and diversion (hijack), both in terms of the tools used and the distribution networks developed.
I work with a Revox B77 tape recorder, various microphones, a radio and some electronics. I use a magnetic loop on which I record the sound and then transform it.
