about

Floy Krouchi aka drfloy - « Chute#1 »

( Paris + Terra incognita )
Sound artist, bass player and electroacoustic composer, Floy Krouchi works with sound in its multiple dimensions : plastic, instrumental, abstract, electronic, multiphonic, radiophonic.
Based on the recording and archiving of real sounds and their transformation, her compositions are sculpting unknown territories , and rely on multiphony to create augmented spaces exploring new codes and analogies . She considers sound as a practice which drives the ability to listen towards invisible dimensions, with alchemic and cathartic properties . In her radio art work , she has developed a special work process, between documentary, fiction and essay: based on the recording and archiving of interviews and real sounds and their transformation, she uses the polyphony of voices ( “plurivocity” to refer to Derrida ) as a metaphor of the coexistence and complexity of layers , proposing a kaleidoscopic place -or non place- where the notion of identity and its deconstruction are central . Such notions as genealogy, gender, ethnicity, borders, religion, nations are often revisited in her work and radio essays . She also works with photography, video and multimedia, and conceives transdisciplinary projects where sound remains the central element.
Floy Krouchi has been present in the world of contemporary experimental music since 1994. She founded the Mafucage (" Monkey cage ") ensemble in 1994, a collective of female musicians in experimental music who did a series of performances on the transiberian train from Paris to Pekin and has been active until 2003 with performances all over Europe, and several records. She has been working in India for years with the traditional transexual community on “Sakhiri” a multimedia audio-video performance and installation which toured the subcontinent and Europe . Since then she has been commissioned numerous pieces and performances by Face Council, GRM, La muse en circuit, France Musique, Gmem, France Culture and has been working with collectives and artists such as Meira Asher, Kamilya Jubran, Tejal Shah, Natasha Mendonca, Sumathi, Pom B Bouvier, Nicolas Losson, Mark Bingham, Kasper Toeplitz, Fefa Vila and Marc Vincent . She performed for the last 20 years in Europe , Eastern Europe, India and China, Middle East , and United States.
She plays an augmented bass and electronic solo, " Bass Holograms" , and is currently researching on the ideas of expanded instrument and interactive speaker.

CHUTE #1
Chute#1 is  the first piece of "Chutes",  a series of unreleased material, accumulated over the years. It includes unfinished tracks, excerpts, left overs, or tracks that have not been finally chosen at the moment . The corpus questions the idea of choice in the creative process , chance, context, and obedience to unconscious esthetics diktats. It also questions the multiple dimensions and parallel life of sounds : where do they go when they stay unheard, how do they continue to live, to resonate. What makes them suddenly, a few years later, evident .
"Chut" is also the sound you use in french to ask for silence.
