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.

Looking back, the past six years can be understood as a period devoted to building and inhabiting a particular musical language; one that found its most radical and physical expression in Matter. Only in retrospect does Exuvie reveal itself not as the beginning of a new chapter, but as the culmination and conclusion of this period. Derived from the Latin exuviae, meaning “what has been shed,” the title evokes the skin or shell left behind after metamorphosis. For a brief moment, while shedding, the serpent seems to contain both its former and future state. In this sense, Exuvie is the final expression of a language that has reached its limits, making space for transformation. Yet rather than opposing the old and the new, Büchi understands change as a continuous process of variation: forms dissolve, persist as traces, and reappear differently. In this record Büchi combines echoes of video game soundtracks, anime music, pop music, and late Romanticism. Developing her musical language, that combines orchestral elements with electroacoustic spectral layerings, further, Büchi integrates elements from popular music and emphasises unpretentious rhythmical repetitions. These fragments, shifting between the personal and the cultural, form an architecture of remembrance, a fragile skin suspended between temporalities. <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/36c1ad34b7411730a627d66534b8cba9080661de23acd4e008ef746e6cfd77f1/a2840724069_10.jpg" data-mid="250396563" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/36c1ad34b7411730a627d66534b8cba9080661de23acd4e008ef746e6cfd77f1/a2840724069_10.jpg" /><img width="1200" height="831" width_o="1200" height_o="831" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/85c1a9d6b6e49893e245840bbf5656aeb1ad2391f1385aa324791b545bc62771/0041675031_10.jpg" data-mid="250396584" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/85c1a9d6b6e49893e245840bbf5656aeb1ad2391f1385aa324791b545bc62771/0041675031_10.jpg" /> LIQUID BONES - EP &nbsp; 2025-OUS Records In the heatgesticulate elasticallytheir bodiesdisappointing the desire to last.With 'Liquid Bones', Noémi Büchi marks a directional shift in her approach: while her previous albums put structure in the foreground and distinguished themselves through high density, the new material seems lighter and even playfully teases the listener with pop elements, albeit without loosing the conceptual depth that has carved out Büchi's singular position in today's musical landscape. The piano, an instrument Büchi has been embracing for the better part of the past two decades, serves as a recurring theme on the five-track EP. Serving as a form-giving and shape-shifting instrument, Büchi extracts a diverse range of sounds: a leading motif, a voice-like element, percussive patterns, atmospheric textures. These are combined with minimal electronic transformations, orchestral sounds, crisp digital textures and Büchi's signature method of punctuating the compositions with noise accentuations, thus creating a highly dynamic listening experience. The closing track, finally, introduces Joséphine de Weck's poetic voice, adding an intimate layer to the EP. Actress and writer de Weck has been the 'face' of Büchi's current audiovisual live show, in which she grants a seemingly intimate view into the actress' mind. Their track 'Fair Enough' expands this collaboration to the next stage. As a whole, 'Liquid Bones' continues Noémi Büchi's study of matter, form and structure. By examining their impermanence and transience, Büchi emphasises the temporary nature of being. <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f06e615c3820489f1c5f0c0e9b73c779a6e49180dfb9c0e98d662e0e430b7dfb/a1943707822_10.jpg" data-mid="250396600" border="0" data-scale="67" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f06e615c3820489f1c5f0c0e9b73c779a6e49180dfb9c0e98d662e0e430b7dfb/a1943707822_10.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="900" width_o="1200" height_o="900" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3606000093e9bd8254f4b637d9a3a2faecb803f394a2993ee3f06abbcf3a78b6/0038816721_10.jpg" data-mid="250396758" border="0" data-scale="67" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3606000093e9bd8254f4b637d9a3a2faecb803f394a2993ee3f06abbcf3a78b6/0038816721_10.jpg" /> MATTER - LP2022 -OUS Records «Music gives us the illusion that time is not time, but space. It is then that the music transforms from process to object, which I find a very interesting thought; a materialisation of the sound process. Sound is matter.»&nbsp;Noémi Büchi’s debut album ‘Matter’ captures the tension between growth and decay, consonance and dissonance, mirroring Büchi’s own catharsis through music. Her most personal material to date, ‘Matter’ is an opus of refined, sculpted beauty, one that aims to blur the distinction between ephemerality and physicality. Inspired by late romantic classical music and early 20th century contemporary music, ‘Matter’ is driven by the compositional methodologies of Igor Stravinsky, Alexander Skrjabin, Gustav Mahler and György Ligeti to modern sound forms, adapting and expanding upon their ideas in an awe-inspiring exploration of cutting-edge potency and tactility.Büchi structures the electronic works that constitute ‘Matter’ in movements, stratifying myriad instrumental parts like the constituent sections of an orchestra. During her work on the album, Büchi engaged in extensive research, obsessively studying specific chords and progressions, and searching for transcendent intonations with resonant properties; complexions of sound with the ability to connect with the listener’s body. Transforming our inner worlds into zones of suspension and levitation, Büchi exposes the listener to intoxicating slipstreams of sound. Prominent voices ascend, tectonic disturbances threaten the foundations, perception and sensation becomes subject to elemental countercurrents and inversions. ‘Matter’ illustrates the fraught pursuit of momentary equilibrium, and makes the fragility of euphoria tangible. <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/69ec462d8486c46031d79e0c9219eea81756542cef766aed795234124b61f087/a0207833092_10.jpg" data-mid="250396587" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/69ec462d8486c46031d79e0c9219eea81756542cef766aed795234124b61f087/a0207833092_10.jpg" /><img width="1200" height="831" width_o="1200" height_o="831" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d864ca16d8440f263bf703b84c5378e1cc8907f0462a99a5bd98798dbdd61931/0030257568_10.jpg" data-mid="250396595" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d864ca16d8440f263bf703b84c5378e1cc8907f0462a99a5bd98798dbdd61931/0030257568_10.jpg" /> PAROXYSM - &nbsp;LE114&nbsp; 2022 Longform Editions In this piece composed for Longform Editions, Büchi explores the potential of consonance and dissonance, contrasts rhythmic physicality with disruption and playfully emphasizes irregularities, creating an expansive listening experience marked by detail and elevation.« I am interested in shapes based on these very simple parameters. Concrete sound shapes that I can mould any way I want, like a sculpture, and create relations among those shapes. I work across genres in my music. Familiar elements from classical music, jazz, folk and also techno can be recognised. There is nature, and the outside world to hear, made of plastic, metal, wood, water and earth.

Balancing elements of electroacoustic music, neo-classical composition, and sound design, ‘Hyle’ unfolds in three compositions that translate ‘matter’ into music. ‘We all are matter, and music is matter. My compositions convert personal and collective memories of trauma and joy into music rooted in emotive resonances and intellectual euphoria’ she explains.Representing a conscious return to familiar harmonical structures, Noémi Büchi develops the musicality of ‘Hyle’ through chordal aggregations and interstitial spaces. Her pieces are informed by a classical (western) understanding of compositional forms, structures, and textures, transposed to experimental electronic music. ‘Hyle’is a prelude to her debut album ‘Matter’, which will be released on -OUS in 2022. <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6ec52ff94eb3edc0776dfbe7a87f7f6d15192aa81c3f217fa2a01b4f6cf1ccdc/a1275898887_10.jpg" data-mid="250396698" border="0" data-scale="70" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6ec52ff94eb3edc0776dfbe7a87f7f6d15192aa81c3f217fa2a01b4f6cf1ccdc/a1275898887_10.jpg" /> Le souvenir d’une ignorance essentielle 2021 Drone piece composed for ICST, ZHdK Zürich, Lange Nacht der Musik.Sequences of glory - sequences of misery - sequences of elysium.The short ones behind the longer ones - changing between hope, despair, sadness, fear, and ecstasy. <img width="1200" height="960" width_o="1200" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/969317f3decebff82c04a4930b278cf20a6cb0fbf5545f58bdcf01f9de12a230/a3087219303_10.jpg" data-mid="250396722" border="0" data-scale="80" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/969317f3decebff82c04a4930b278cf20a6cb0fbf5545f58bdcf01f9de12a230/a3087219303_10.jpg" /> Ne parle pas de secrets 2020 « The idea was to create an amniotic atmosphere.» Anecdotal sounds that remind us of specific moments in our lives cross our mind, liquid, metallic, soft, subtle sounds, and dense drones mingle to create an experience of their own, each one embedding itself in the personal experience of the listener. <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/abda947009b66263280b5cf8c6e33a1eda8afde1a3c725331b9bd887eea06408/a2540314439_10.jpg" data-mid="250396706" border="0" data-scale="67" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/abda947009b66263280b5cf8c6e33a1eda8afde1a3c725331b9bd887eea06408/a2540314439_10.jpg" /> MATIÈRE - LP 2020 Light Of Other Days Noémi Büchi’s debut Ep «Matière» is the result of an extensive study with a modular synthesizer as her instrument of choice mixed with field recordings of sounds and noises surrounding her every day life . Apart from being a student of Electroacoustic Composition and listening to tons of music, Noémi finds most of her inspiration in long nature walks through nearby forests and foggy hills situated close to her bedroom studio.With her music she leads the listener safely through deep paths of complex rhythms and otherworldly sounds. Her awareness of timbre, nuance and harmonic diversity are constantly matched with her ability to produce fresh and revealing arrangements. <img width="1200" height="1200" width_o="1200" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/61cb954ef4e4823121630c999bd02f8ac428a846f9d0b2c723d2cfaba8e03a69/a2412164819_10.jpg" data-mid="250396683" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/61cb954ef4e4823121630c999bd02f8ac428a846f9d0b2c723d2cfaba8e03a69/a2412164819_10.jpg" /><img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cc4d9a9ca679e22063e72a8d252a148ea8a3d096f78816df194f2863fca6fd79/0023376995_10.jpg" data-mid="250396692" border="0" data-scale="71" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cc4d9a9ca679e22063e72a8d252a148ea8a3d096f78816df194f2863fca6fd79/0023376995_10.jpg" /> REPRISE R - Digital Album 2020 Reprise R is an album based on piano works of Maurice Ravel placed in a new space.«By slowing down the piano pieces I discovered the deep sadness contained in them, which I was not able to hear in that way at the original tempo.

From modus 'agité', the listener enters the state of a seemingly infinite continuity of an almost immobile fluctuation of sound, which, however, never stops moving. Composed during the master studies in Electroacoustic Composition at the Zurich University of the Arts, 2018. <img width="1200" height="936" width_o="1200" height_o="936" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5e0aa6a2331e13d59f91faa96e31385ad085d9f794e9f5942c65275bed061181/a4211824135_10.jpg" data-mid="250401562" border="0" data-scale="67" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5e0aa6a2331e13d59f91faa96e31385ad085d9f794e9f5942c65275bed061181/a4211824135_10.jpg" /> https://noemibuchi.net/AUDIOVISUAL-WORKS Tue, 27 Jan 2026 16:07:01 +0000 Noémi Büchi https://noemibuchi.net/AUDIOVISUAL-WORKS EXUVIE - AV SHOW2026&nbsp; Exuvie is an immersive experience that brings together sound, movement, and image, expanding the conceptual and sonic universe of Büchi’s album of the same name. The work emerges as a meditation on transformation, memory, and the fragile boundary between what has been lived and what continues to resonate. Derived from the Latin exuviae (what has been shed), Exuvie explores the tension between matter and memory; the traces that remain after change, and the slow, embodied processes through which the body absorbs, remembers, and transforms. Past and present coexist within the mind, their layers constantly blurring. Memories surface as dense, almost physical flashbacks, gradually deforming perception and substance. At the center of the visual narrative is dancer Rebeka Mondovics, whose choreography treats the body as a living archive, an ever-shifting vessel in which memory, perception, and space continuously merge. Movement appears as a fleeting imprint of time, carried by a breathing, porous corporeality. In close dialogue with Büchi’s music, sound and gesture form a shared temporal space, opening passages of remembrance and metamorphosis.The video universe, developed by visual artist Brigitte Faessler, weaves together color, light, and motion into a sensorial visual poetry. Mixing analog and digital techniques, the imagery oscillates between the real and the imaginary, constructing fictional inner landscapes that feel both intimate and uncanny.&nbsp; Musically, Exuvie takes shape like a painting in sound. Büchi’s composition moves between electroacoustic spectral layers, orchestral gestures, and unadorned rhythmic repetitions, integrating echoes of video game soundtracks, anime music, hip hop, and late Romanticism. These fragments, both personal and cultural, form an architecture of remembrance. The show has been premiered at CTM Festival in 2026. &nbsp;&nbsp; LISTEN TO THE ALBUM&nbsp; <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6e6ffaf06cb6c5a4a13ad5260e7b12a3d2b79df270825028141d5749531670c1/Bildschirmfoto-2026-01-27-um-11.21.15.png" data-mid="248392364" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6e6ffaf06cb6c5a4a13ad5260e7b12a3d2b79df270825028141d5749531670c1/Bildschirmfoto-2026-01-27-um-11.21.15.png" /> DOES IT STILL MATTER - AV SHOW2024&nbsp; Does It Still Matter is an immersive audiovisual experience that invites viewers to reflect on the impermanence of our material world and our relationship to our own materiality. Through a visceral interplay of sound and visuals, the performance explores the processes of transformation and dissolution, drawing attention to the cyclical nature of existence.&nbsp;The central element of Does It Still Matter is the human figure, represented by actress Joséphine de Weck. This live show is based on Noémi Büchi’s album of the same name, released in May 2024. It marks the culmination of a series of creations exploring the physical nature of sound, following on from Matière and Matter. In Does It Still Matter, her questions the state of our world, which has become increasingly fluid and immaterialThis projection carries an aesthetic power, with its minimalistic approach that is nonetheless intense in its detailed expression. The figure exists in the present moment, making only minimal movements that embody a state of being here and now. Their struggle, mental fluctuations, and subtle motions reflect the challenges of human existence, until the control of so-called "nature" begins to take over, asserting its dominance and transforming the narrative. Set against a backdrop of environmental disasters and global crises, Does It Still Matter serves as a meditation on impermanence. It challenges audiences to confront the ephemeral nature of existence while offering moments of introspection through the power of sound. Persistent echoes and sonic fragments linger long after the performance, leaving behind a haunting resonance that continues to provoke thought and emotion.The show has been premiered at L.E.V.

The work seeks to bring together two distinct perceptions of reality and explore hybrid conceptual worlds. Noémi Büchi’s music captures the tension between growth and decay, consonance and dissonance, reflecting her own process of catharsis through music. In his work, Christoffer Joergensen explores the potential of hybrid image-making by combining painting, sculpture, photography, photogrammetry, and 3D graphics.
