I was recently invited to perform at the prestigious acousmatic music festival L’Espace du Son, held at the Marni Theatre, Brussels from 15–19 October 2025. Now in its 32nd year, L’Espace du Son is one of the world’s leading electroacoustic music festivals, dedicated to acousmatic works. It features a loudspeaker orchestra of 110 speakers, enabling live projection and spatialisation of music to create truly immersive listening experiences.

My ‘Portrait’ concert included both stereo and multichannel pieces drawn from my album Espaces Éphémères (released on label Empreintes DIGITALes), and it was a fantastic opportunity to work with a system that allowed for new spatialised interpretations of my music.

The festival’s programme was outstanding, showcasing an inspiring range of works by internationally renowned composers and emerging artists in the field. It was an absolute privilege to be part of such a rich and diverse lineup.

Many thanks to Annette Vande Gorne and the team at Musiques et Recherches for the invitation and their warm welcome.
