About
Chantal Michelle is a composer and interdisciplinary artist whose work engages with the spatial and tactile properties of sound. Her practice incorporates feedback systems, multichannel compositions, and psychoacoustic phenomena to explore the relationship between sound, perception, and physical space. She is interested in the mutability of perception and its capacity to be disrupted or reconstructed. Her projects span site-responsive installations, hand-blown glass instruments, conceptual scores, and recorded works.
Michelle’s work and collaborations have been presented internationally at festivals, venues, and contemporary art spaces including the Royal Academy of Arts (UK), Seoul Museum of Art (KR), Fridman Gallery (US), Cafe OTO (UK), MUTEK (MX), and Silent Green (DE). Her discography includes releases on Shelter Press, Dinzu Artefacts, Superpang, and Somewhere Press.
She is a 2026 Villa Aurora Fellow in Composition, a recipient of the 2025 Arbeitsstipendium Ernste Musik und Klangkunst from the Berlin Senate, and has received grants from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, the Feminist Center for Creative Work, and the Sonic Arts Research Unit. Michelle holds an MFA from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts.
