For French electro-acoustic composer and visual artist Félicia Atkinson, human voices inhabit an ecology within and alongside many – in the conventional sense – unspoken things: landscapes, images, books, memories, and ideas.
Atkinson makes music that animates these other possible voices in conversation with her own, collaging field recording, MIDI instrumentation, and snippets of essayistic language together with frequent engagement with the work of visual artists, filmmakers, and novelists. She is the co-founder of Shelter Press, through which she has released both a novel and many recordings. She has performed at venues and festivals including INA GRM/Maison de la Radio and the Philharmonie, Issue Project Room, the Barbican Center, Le Guess Who, Atonal, Henie Onstad, Unsound, and Skanu Mesz. She has exhibited in museums, galleries, and biennials across the world.
