bio
Lionel Marchetti is one of a handful of artists who in the mid-to-late 
1990s took electroacoustic music out of academic studios and into the 
free improvisation ring. A scholar who worked at the CFMI (Lyon) and 
GRM (Paris) studios and published a book on acousmatic composer Michel 
Chion, Marchetti developed a set-up of microphones and loudspeakers he 
uses on stage along with tape recorders, prepared CDs, motors and 
radios. He often refers to his "instruments? as an "electroacoustic 
contraption.? His live work with Jérôme Noetinger found echoes in the 
approach of Swiss and Austrian abstractionists like Voice Crack, Günter 
Müller, and Werner Dafeldecker, but Marchetti is mostly active in 
France, performing regularly at the club Les Instants Chavirés and at 
the festival Musique Action. His studio work encompasses sound collage 
Knud Un Nom de Serpent and academic electroacoustics Sirrus, Portrait 
d?un Glacier, although the level of poetry and refusal of genre 
boundaries in his music puts him closer to Kristoff K.Roll and Luc 
Ferrari than Pierre Henry or Bernard Parmegiani.
Marchetti was born in France in 1967. His interest in music resides in 
the qualities of sound. He started to experiment by himself and later 
discovered the rich French corpus of musique concrète through Xavier 
Garcia. From 1989 to 2002 he was attached to the CFMI studios in Lyon 
where he still runs workshops. The first large-scale work he created 
there was Sirrus (1989-1990, released only in 2001). Following his 
encounter with label owner and fellow sound experimentalist Jérôme 
Noetinge, he began to release material on Metamkine in 1993, quickly 
growing his own voice out of Michel Chion?s influence. Knud Un Nom de 
Serpent (Le Cercle des Entrailles) was his first American release on 
Intransitive, 2001. Albums began to multiply in 2001. Starting in 1993, 
a series of live and improvisation-based projects would run parallel to 
his more academic career. The Marchetti-Noetinger duo was the first of 
such projects and remains the longest lasting one. From the start their 
brand of abstract real-time transformation of sounds hinted at the 
lowercase/microsound esthetic that would soon take over avant-garde 
circles at the turn of the millennium. The pair has recorded as a duet 
Mort aux Vache, 2001 but also as part of larger groups Double Wash with 
Voice Crack, an eponymous release with Mathieu Werchowski. The two of 
them are also involved in the audio-visual project Le Cube. In 
addition, Marchetti performs with the influential improv collective 
Archipel (with Emmanuel Petit, Sophie Agnel, Fabrice Charles, Pascal 
Bathus, and Werchowski). François Couture 1967 France
