Paris-born composer Emmanuel Mieville studied sound engineering in a film school and musique concrète at the GRM (Groupe de recherches musicales). He has also studied ethnic instruments and played Javanese gamelan in Paris for two years. Since his childhood, Mieville has been constantly listening to creative radio programs, something that has fueled his approach to experimental music and soundscape composition. He has produced many programs for French national radios (France-culture and France-Musique), such as a piece commissioned by Radio-France for shakuhachi, voice and electronics.
He has worked with Buto dancers and video artists. He improvised with fellow musicians like Eric Cordier, Guido Huebner, Benjamin Thigpen, Sun Wei, among others. His electroacoustic works have been presented in festivals by Motus and Licences-Brûlures des langues (France), Confluencias (Spain), and the Udine Composition Competition in Italy (final selection). He has performed concerts and improvised solo or with musicians in Malaysia, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, France(Instants Chavirés), and Germany. He also performs other composer’s music, like K.H. Stockhausen with the innovative laptop ensemble CLSI. He recently took part in a workshop with Chris Watson, organized by Camp in the Pyrénées mountains, on field recordings, with insight approach to his recording technology. He has contributed to the magnificent exhibition ”Audiosfera” in Museo Reina Sofia(Madrid), in 2021, curated by Francisco Lopez, where 700 sound artists and musicians were presented in a deep listening environement, without installations or visual works.
His music is released on the labels > Tibprod (split cd with Töre H.Boe), XingWu(concert with Eric Cordier), and/OAR, Baskaru (2 full length albums), Cronica, Taalem, Obs, and forms of minutiae (cassette album, 2023).
