We are nine voices, sighted and blind, who have been singing and exploring together for 11 years. Our practice consists of listening to and imitating sound ecosystems. We become the sounds of biotopes, machines, endangered species, humans and non-humans. Our songs blend ancestral and experimental vocal practices. We are the stumbling blocks of a memory populated by tunes, buried melodies that emerge and carry us away for hybridizations, mutations.

*300 copies limited edition* In 2012, Natacha Muslera (vocalist, improviser, composer, researcher) breathes life into a choir of sighted and blind people. Choeur tac-til is a choir without a conductor, wherein Natacha proposes a composition mode far from the visual field, developped in partnership in an ever-changing practice of free improvisation. This album retraces ten years of shared practice in which vocal explorations indoors (in residence at The Gmem, National centre for music creation) and outdoors are intertwined, with the sound ecosystems of the Calanques massif, the city of Marseille and the Sainte-Baume forest.

In January 2022, Lionel Marchetti (electronics) was invited to work on several residencies. The resulting creation for voice and electronics will premiere on 21 November 2023 as part of Modulations, at the Gmem at the Friche Belle de Mai, Marseille. "Working on the space of sound in relation to its electronic form, to the point of extending our songs - now entangled as if in a forest".

Voices : Alex Quérel, Chérifa Harzallah, Franck Omer, Mélodie Duchesne, François Parra, Mafalda Da Camara, Angélique Huguenin, Natacha Muslera, Bruno Raby, Gihane El Hassouni.
