"I have no specific intention with the music. I want to move something. If something moves physically, that's enough for me". In fact, it's not just the speakers that Noémi Büchi makes vibrate with her musical experimentation. As a listener, you often can't help but let the rhythm of the beats and the orchestral melodies flow through your arms and legs, tracing them with your whole body. The 33-year-old Zurich native's pieces are also always an exploration: Noémi Büchi takes everyday objects, elicits the sounds and tones from them, records them with a microphone, combines them anew at the mixing desk and, through abstraction, variation and the addition of classical, folk or jazz music, creates a symphonic sonority that surprises and arouses curiosity. No two listening experiences are the same; a new musical universe could open up behind every note.
 
Noémi Büchi studied electroacoustic composition at the ZHdK as well as musicology and German studies. She was awarded the City of Zurich Culture Prize in 2022. The sound artist has composed a piece for the Currents Festival, which she will premiere at Moods Club on March 9 with an ensemble of various musicians that she has put together herself.

With the festival pass for CHF 90, you can attend all concerts of the Currents Festival from 6 to 9 March 2024 at Exil and Moods.
