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 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 holds a Master's degree in Electroacoustic Composition from the Univerity of the arts in Zürich and a Bachelor's degree in Musicology and German Literature/Linguistic from the University of Zürich.
She currently lives and works in Basel, Switzerland.
