Clément Vercelletto is a musician and stage director whose artistic research focuses on the points of articulation and clarity between these two entangled practices. He is specifically interested in the ways that sound might serve as a conceptual and structural premise for activating bodies and voices on stage. Vercelletto's album L'Engoulevent (The Nightjar, 2025) melds mechanical sounds with organic rhythms to create a uniquely chiselled sound of trembling physicality and ethereal, squishy sonics. It was entirely composed on an electric organ whose pipes were replaced by bird calls, controlled via an interface, leading to vivid maximal soundscapes of overlapping mutated and multiplied birdsong – live, it becomes a stunning sculptural work made of amplified drones, modular synth, and French bagpipe (Boha).

Presented in collaboration with Festival Musica and La Muse en Circuit – CNCM.
