Gabrielle HB
Musician and composer Gabrielle HB oscillates between free improvisation and slow constructions. She finds in performance ways to bring out forms of tenderness, games and transparencies. She is half of le désert mauve (Charline Dally), which produces soft audiovisual works, and of the ensemble Jardin Joue (Florence Garneau), a minimalist ambient music duo. Holder of a master's degree in Sound Arts from the London College of Communications (2021), she has performed and/or broadcast her work at the Musée d'art de Joliette, the Ann Arbor Film Festival (USA), MUTEK (CA, ES, AR), the École d'arts de Calais (FR), the Société des arts technologiques and the Suoni Per Il Popolo festival in Montréal. Her most recent solo album, Daily Scores, was released in December 2023. She lives between the ancestral territories of Tiotià:ke/Montréal and Nitaskinan/North of Lanaudière.
le désert mauve:
Inspired by the self-titled novel by poet Nicole Brossard, le désert mauve proposes a soft audiovisual synthesis. As a duo, sound artist Gabrielle HB and video artist Charline Dally produce video artworks and performances oscillating between fluid landscapes, never-ending views, and microscopic dances. They develop slow, subtle progressions that erode a notion of time. Observing the space between thoughts, feeling the unfolding of a movement and capturing the void. It is an inner place opening to spacious possibilities. Le désert mauve has presented their work at Ann Arbor Film festival (MI), BISFF (Pékin), MAJ (Joliette, QC), RVQC (Montréal), MUTEK (Montréal et Buenos Aires+Barcelone), ADAF (Athènes), Film Maudit (LA), Light Matter (NY), Noviembre Electrónico (Buenos Aires), Cadence Videopoetry festival (Seattle). They are invited members at Perte de Signal (Montréal) and were part of AMPLIFY D.A.I. cohort.
