Musician and sound artist, Valentin Durif lives and works in Lyon, France.
Having dabbled in electronic, rock, and ambiant/experimental music, he started getting interested in translating electronic music into the physical world, by creating performances and installations made of DIY/ready-made sound machines and musical instruments.
He usually works on hijacking everyday objects, with the idea of creating sonic as well as visual immersive and impressionists landscapes, while also developing the idea of a musical gesture both meaningful and absurdist, always with the questions of fragility and control being central.
His music has roots in IDM, noise or indus, as well as a more experimental vein of music creation.
