Margaux Gazur

She studied classical piano at the Conservatoire. Over time, she became increasingly interested in the possibilities of unconventional sound sources and started to incorporate these into her compositions. Experimenting with sonic memories, everyday objects and sounds from surrounding environments allow her to create music that is both deeply personal and universally resonant.

Margaux Gazur started to work with field recording to capture her daily life in Hanoi as a sonic memory. She has been composing soundscapes for her dad’s martial art videos, using recordings from those sessions, including the sounds of traditional martial art weapons and instruments used for celebrations. She then expanded this approach to her own projects.

In her recent work, she has been exploring the sounds of various acoustic instruments, moving away from the traditional music theory. She uses the instruments as an experiential medium, focusing on the diverse sounds and emotions they can produce.
