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.

Gabrielle HB and charline dally form the duo le désert mauve. Inspired by the eponymous novel by poet Nicole Brossard, le désert mauve develops a sensitive relationship between sound and image through video works and performances, which shift back and forth between fluid landscapes, infinite horizons, and microscopic dances. charline dally’s abstract tableaux, created using 3D modelling and modular analog video synthesis, feature fluid, sparkling lo-fi images that play with our perception. Their inspirations include the pioneering practices of Hilma af Klint, the Vasulkas, Tauba Auerbach, and the hydrofeminist movement. Sound artist Gabrielle HB designs minimalist, enveloping spaces using precise gestures and concise systems. Using analog synthesis, voice, and digital tools, she takes inspiration from composers Éliane Radigue, Suzanne Ciani, and Pauline Oliveros. Her compositions are supple, luminous, and deliberately slow.
