Noémi Büchi is a swiss/french composer and sound artist that explores the potential of cross-genre musical structures. Her music is defined by a delicate synthesis of textural rhythms and electroacoustic-orchestral abstraction. She contrasts rhythmic physicality with disruption and playfully emphasizes irregularities, creating an expansive listening experience marked by detail and elevation.
Her compositions juxtapose multi-layered analog synth textures, crystal-clear tones, and brutalistic noises, evolving through structures that often recall pop song forms. Driven by an inner orchestra of countless voices, her music merges complexity and accessibility, sculpting immersive sound architectures that invite reflection on impermanence and the enduring power of sound.

Her musical work moves in the fields of electroacoustic composition, live performances, audiovisual shows, music for film, music for contemporary dance, music for installations, music for theater and for ensemble or orchestral works.


She is regularly invited to perform at renowned national and international festivals such as Ars Electronica, MUTEK, L.E.V. Festival, Variations Festival, and Biennale Némo, as well as at world-renowned museums including the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid and the Musée d’Art de Nantes.


She currently lives and works between Basel, Zürich and Paris.
