About
Chantal Michelle
Chantal Michelle is a composer and artist based in New York City and Berlin. Through the architectural manipulation of sound, she constructs intricate and densely textured works that disorient and immerse, inviting alternate forms of perception. She is interested in the spatial and tactile properties of sound, and her artistic practice often uses feedback, multichannel speaker arrays, and psychoacoustic phenomena as possible means of exploration. Her body of work includes site-responsive installations, hand-blown glass instruments, ensemble performances, and recorded material.
Michelle has presented her work at venues, festivals, and institutions internationally, including Fridman Gallery [US], Cafe OTO [UK], MUTEK [MX], Het HEM [NL], The Stone [US], Opus 40 [US], and Morphine Raum [DE]. Her discography has been published on Dinzu Artefacts, SUPERPANG, Warm Winters Ltd., and Somewhere Press, among other labels. She has collaborated with composers and musicians such as Lea Bertucci, Germán Bringas, Alina Maldonado, Joanna Mattrey, and Patrick Shiroishi. In 2022, she formed the experimental noise project ⎤⎤⎤ with multidisciplinary artist Grace Villamil. She is a 2023 grant recipient from the Sonic Arts Research Unit [UK], a 2024 OSUN fellow [DE], and a 2024 Fundaziun Nairs Artist-in-Residence [CH]. She holds a Master’s of Fine Arts from Bard College, Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts [US].
