∆ Geneva-based artist Emma Souharce began her work in the sound field during her master studies in radio projects such as Radiation24 and LapTop Radio – a project led since 2012 by Laurent Schmidt, Ceel Mogami de Haas and Jonathan Frigeri.
∆ Through her sound pieces, she develops a research related to the effect of frequencies on cerebral perception as well as the effect of the composition on the unconscious emotions and perception of time. It thus aspires to reach hypnopompes or hypnagogic states, at the limit between awakening and sleep, where thoughts are arranged by colliding.
∆ In 2015, she co-founded the analogical-experimental band Biblioteq Mdulair (duo with Daniel Maszkowicz) with which she could play in Switzerland (LUFF – Lausanne, Lokal-int – Biel, Ausstellungsraum Klingental – Basel, Cave12 – Geneva, Südpol – Lucerne) and internationally (Stanislavsky Electrotheatre – Moscow, Visual Culture Research Center – Kiev, MIMStuudio – Tallinn, Akusmata – Helsinki, Palace of Science and Culture of Warsaw, Cinema Nova – Bruxelles, Alte Feuerwache – Köln). Biblioteq Mdulair released their very first album (co-produced by Copypasta Editions and Aussenraum Records) in may 2018 at Cave12-Geneva.
Δ At the end of 2015, Emma Souharce obtains a creation grant by the FMAC-Geneva for her sound creation Par-Delà~Sorginak which began with a 6 months residency between Colombia and Ecuador, studying the links between music and rituals. Having performed in Switzerland (Geneva, Luzern, Fribourg, Bern, Lausanne, Zürich), France (Paris, Biarritz), New York, Eastern and Northern Europe on tour with the duo New Routines Every Day in may 2018, then in South-east Asia in march 2019 with Maszkowicz, Emma Souharce also created sound pieces for the research project Amenhotep (closed chamber used in psychiatry).
∆ Emma Souharce is also implicated into collectives such as La Reliure, an association for artists residencies – organising the DAF festival once a year – and co-coordinate the production and edition house Copypasta Editions. In 2019, she’s also co-coordinated the BIG – Interstellar art spaces Biennale of Geneva.
∆ In 2017 she obtains the Simon I. Patiño grant for a 6 months stay at la Cité internationale des arts in Paris and is currently in a research and creation residency at Nekatoenea, Hendaye, France.
