VALENTIN DURIF
Composer – Musician – Sound Technician
Musician, sound artist and developer, from electronic music, Valentin Durif lives and works in Lyon, France.
He began to be interested in the transposition of electronic music into the physical world, creating installations and performances composed of sound machines and home-made instruments. He usually works on the diversion of everyday objects, with the idea of creating sound and visual landscapes that are both immersive and impressionist, while developing the idea of a musical gesture that is both Dadaist and coherent; while addressing the issues of fragility and control. His music mixes electronica, noise rock or indus; as well as a more experimental vein of sound creation. Valentin Durif appears under the sizzling pseudonym GzzzT for part of his work and he regularly collaborates with the AADN association in Lyon (digital arts and cultures) for which he develops interactive systems (Les Hommes Debout). He has been working with Natacha Paquignon since 2014 and the creation of Cabines.
