Nachtstrom 105

The composer and sound artist Noémi Büchi creates an electronic and symphonic maximalism. Her music is characterised by a delicate synthesis of textural rhythms and electroacoustic-orchestral abstraction. She explores the potential of consonance and dissonance, contrasts rhythmic physicality with interruptions and playfully emphasises irregularities, creating a listening experience that is steeped in detail.
She holds a Bachelor's degree in Musicology and German Studies and a Master's degree in Electroacoustic Composition. She has performed at renowned festivals and was awarded the Culture Prize of the City of Zurich. Her debut EP «Matière», released in 2019 via the label «Light of Other Days», received great acclaim. In 2020, she released a second EP «Prismic Passages» on the Leipzig label «Visible Dinner». The Swiss music label «-OUS» will release her debut album «Matter» and its prelude «Hyle» in 2022, as well as the debut album of «Musique Infinie», a collaboration between Noémi Büchi and Feldermelder.
