Jean-Bernard Thomasson

A musician and sound artist renowned for a thoughtful approach to acoustics and listening, he builds his practice at the intersection of environments, performance, and technical exploration. Rooted in a reverence for capture and nuance, his work embraces quiet corridors, resonant spaces, and the everyday sounds that often go unheard. He collaborates with performers, designers, and engineers to craft immersive experiences that invite audience attention to the textures of sound itself—timber, air, resonance, and rhythm—while maintaining clarity and balance. His process combines careful field recording, modular technology, and live manipulation, always seeking to reveal how context shapes perception. His contributions highlight listening as a principled, collaborative practice.
