MUSICOMEXP performances -Autumn 2020

On September 25 I performed MUSICOMEXP at the Great Amber Hall in Liepāja, Latvia. More logistics than usual in these strange times, but what a city and what an amazing hall to perform in! Check out the pictures below.

Just back from my residency at VICC in Visby, where I worked on another project - more info coming soon.

Next MUSICOMEXP performance is scheduled on November 7 in Härnösand, Sweden. Book in advance! Extremely limited sitting with distanciation, the concert is planned twice. More info and booking links HERE!

So finally! In the wake of the world's situation this spring, after all live performances were canceled or postponed, and although MUSICOMEXP is a multi-facetted piece to be experienced live, I decided to let it out in the cyber world for all to enjoy in immersive audio format.

Again, MUSICOMEXP is delivered in binaural format, is to be heard preferably through high quality headphones 🎧

Remember MUSICOMEXP is available as an exclusive CD box set with the music, my day log on board the expedition with photos and drawings, and all sailing maps from my time at sea. Get it here!

SXSW Music Review: MUSICOMEXP by Aurélie Ferrière

Transformative travelogue of a Magellan-like sea voyage

REVIEWS! Read the Austin Chronicle’s review of MUSICOMEXP performance at SXSW 2019 in Austin Texas on March 15th.

“During the fantastic voyage, sine waves dove into the spiral of helical linearity as they swayed along a route once navigated by Ferdinand Magellan 500 years ago, the order now rearranged. Whales from unmapped oceans harmonized with modular synths as Ferrière netted the audience into a transformative travelogue that worked seamlessly as both a repository of natural sounds and a narrative passage through mental geography.”

MUSICOMEXP also included in the 10 weirdest things Vice’s Noisey saw at SXSW 2019!!

Next stops?? MUSICOMEXP on the stage of a symphonic concert hall, in a remote village or in an aquarium this summer - details coming up soon!

Interview on the National Swedish Radio about Musicomexp and The Ocean Mapping Expedition

Hear an interview I did with the National Swedish Radio where I discuss my work on board making music and the reasons why The Ocean Mapping Expedition is taking place right now.

The discussion starts just after 31 minutes... in Swedish, but just afterwards you can hear a little bit of MUSICOMEXP in a binaural down mix - listen loud, but try to catch it live!

Next stop Vienna in November - stay tuned🌏
