Péroline Barbet is an independent sound artist and researcher who has devoted her professional life to the expressions of oral tradition and the diversity of its forms. Her research work and her productions offer a sensitive approach to memory; at the crossroads of ethnology and sound creation, of narration and music. She has directed several documentaries on popular music in France. She has recently started a project about our links to the animal world, between biophony, electroacoustic composition and sound fiction. Her pieces speak of our interdependent relationships between the landscape and human activity, with a poetic treatment. In 2022, she received the Prix de l’oeuvre sonore de la SCAM for Piste animale, an immersion in the parallel universes of wildlife, the animal world and the undergrowth, inspired by the writings of the philosopher Baptiste Morizot.
