Anouck Genthon and Lionel Marchetti Release Spatial Music CD 'Suite blanche'

publication · 2026-07-10

Anouck Genthon and Lionel Marchetti have released 'Suite blanche', a CD on UNRec that centers space as an active compositional element. The work treats acoustic response—shaped by speaker arrangement, volume, and sound behavior—as integral to the music. Genthon's violin and Marchetti's electronic synthesis interpenetrate, creating a unified sonic organism. Spatial directing creates a perceptual experience of emanation from a focal point, suggesting a mythic path. The second CD documents 'Angelica', the duo's 2022 concert at Teatro San Leonardo in Bologna, transferring spatial strategies to a live context with audience presence.
