About Marylou

Marylou is a French sound, electronic and hacker artist based in Montreuil.
Her research confronts our modes of perception with the great loss of nature’s sensitive interactions, a current consequence of the exponential disappearance of biodiversity. She finds in the electronic medium a bewitching power, which stimulates each of our senses in an exacerbated way and guides us through poetic immersions and finer interactions. Using technology as the main intermediary in the study of biodiversity, her work aims to highlight the similarities between these broken ecosystems and electronic interfaces, enabling the networks of a dying nature to be artificially reconstructed and reactivated.

As a musician, she shares intimate compositions influenced by the romantic ambiences she admires in chanson à texte (she wholeheartedly loves Pomme, Barbara, Anne Sylvestre and Rupi Kaur). A hacker, she also makes her own atypical tools: she nourishes her soundscape with her in-house synthesizer, the Big Bird Boxe, which triggers birdsong, transforms her singing into a nightingale’s voice and many other magical effects.
