About
Chantal Michelle by Carolyne Loreé Teston

Chantal Michelle is a composer and interdisciplinary artist whose work engages the spatial, tactile, and perceptual dimensions of sound. Her practice incorporates feedback systems, multichannel composition, and psychoacoustic phenomena to question the mutability of perception and its capacity to be disrupted or reconstructed. Her projects include site-responsive installations, hand-blown glass instruments, conceptual scores, and recorded works.

Michelle’s work and collaborations have been presented internationally at institutions and venues including the Royal Academy of Arts [UK], The Museum of Modern Art [US], Fridman Gallery [US], Cafe OTO [UK], and Silent Green [DE]. Her discography includes releases on Shelter Press, Dinzu Artefacts, Superpang, and Somewhere Press. She is a 2026–2027 Cité internationale des arts Artist-in-Residence and a 2026 Villa Aurora Fellow in Composition. She is also a recipient of the Arbeitsstipendium Ernste Musik und Klangkunst from the Berlin Senate. Her practice has been supported by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Goethe-Institut, and the Feminist Center for Creative Work. Michelle holds an MFA from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts.
