Innovative Curatorial Projects – Paris / SingaporeMartin Gracineau
*1972, France. Lives and works in Nantes, France.
Martin Gracineau developed an interest in sound via his love of music, especially guitar based rock from the New York noise-improv scene and British pop. After having studied physics, his work diverged towards audiovisual creations, and it’s in Quebec where he started to work as a sound editor for the North American cinema industry.
Upon his return to France, he worked as a sound engineer, director, teacher and musician. Today he focuses his artistic projects around audiovisual experiences that explore the musicality of real-world sounds and how they can be transformed and reshaped.
