Hubert Michel.
Hubert Michel was born in France in 1976.

In the midst of his technical studies in 1998, he discovered electroacoustic music. It allowed him to do the musical practice with the use of machines, without the traditional music theory. He then decided to devote himself to the composition of concrete music. He obtained a diplôme in Composition as well as the SACEM prize in 2001.

His music has its source in capturing sounds, soundscapes, and sound synthesis. For example, Quintessence is a voyage of exoplanets discovery, a suite Contemplations (published on the Esadhar / PiedNu label) offers a slice of life where the sounds of the city intersect the electronics.

Since the beginning of his practice of electroacoustic music, he has been fascinated by the possibility of sound spatialization. He has his own acousmonium: La Bétonneuse. Having been well recognized in this practice, he is in charge of the acousmonium in the festivals “PiedNu” and “Plages Sonores”, and a variety of composers have appreciated his multicast devices.

Other projects include a unique concrete music improvisation with “Concrètophone”, either solo, or in collaboration with other musicians, sound installations such as “Contact” that offers the audience to explore the composition instantly from the ground sensor, and ” Transition” which offers a sound immersion on life pathways of people who have moved from a country to another. He is also active at Module Etrange, a composer collective based in Rouen.
