Prune Bécheau
Lives and works in Dordogne (France). In 2010, she wrote an essay about the concept of work, the notion of reception and the presence of popular music in JS Bach. She has several sound practices, collective noise and improvised lutherie, festive and circumstantial music, diversion of commercial radios, experimental punk and minimalist song, acoustic hard-tek and bows games. She plays baroque violin, organ, rushes, rattle in the fields, the street, the chirches, the supermarkets, the public places. In 2011-2012, she made a rebec and began to make sounding cans and boxes in the rain. In 2013, she built with friends a community equipment and played horn in an area so-called "urban and sensitive". In 2014, she composed pieces for and built bird-calls. She tries to develop the possibilities for appearance of sound, music and its theory in their relationships with social, ethnographic, political or linguistic processes.
