Noémi Büchi is a Swiss-French composer whose work bridges contemporary electronic and electroacoustic composition and performance. Exploring cross-genre musical structures, she combines electroacoustic orchestral abstraction, analog synthesis, and raw noise, creating an expansive listening experience and sound architectures, marked by detail and elevation.
Her practice spans experimental electronic production, electroacoustic composition, live performance, audiovisual works, and site-specific commissions, extending across film, contemporary dance, installation, and fashion.
Her work has been presented internationally at leading festivals including CTM Festival, MUTEK, Ars Electronica, L.E.V. Festival, and Nuits Sonores, Festival Variations, as well as in renowned museums and cultural institutions such as Museo Nacional Reina Sofía in Madrid, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Culture Station in Seoul, and Pavillon le Corbusier in Zürich. Alongside her solo work, she collaborates with ensembles, musicians, choreographers, and visual artists, translating her musical language into diverse performative and spatial formats.
After her studies in Musicology, German Literature / Linguistics and Electroacoustic Composition, she has been developing her compositional voice at the intersection of sound exploration, musicological research, and artistic practice / performance.
Following six years of artistic research centered on the cycle Matter, Büchi's recent work marks a decisive shift in her compositional approach. Her current work explores new forms of musical tension, moving away from accumulation towards temporality and reduction. While remaining rooted in a radical sonic practice, she is increasingly developing long-form electroacoustic compositions in close collaboration with instrumentalists, expanding her work through new ensembles, acoustic instruments, and compositional perspectives.
She currently lives and works between Basel, Zürich and Paris.
