Margaux Gazur works with sound as a form of attentive recollection. Drawing from electronic music, musique concrète, classical training and experimental jazz, she builds compositions that feel tactile and closely observed. Acoustic instruments sit alongside everyday objects and field recordings, forming textured environments shaped by memory and place.

Trained in classical piano at the Conservatoire, she gradually shifted her focus toward unconventional sound sources. Objects, materials and fragments of lived surroundings enter her process as equal partners. Recordings from daily life in Hanoi became an early archive — motorbikes passing, distant voices, small domestic sounds — gathered and reassembled into quiet sonic documents. She also composed soundscapes for her father’s martial arts videos, incorporating the resonance of traditional weapons and ceremonial instruments. These gestures remain embedded in her current work.

Her recent performances centre on acoustic instruments, loopers and effect pedals, allowing repetition and subtle transformation to guide the form. Composition and improvisation intertwine fluidly. The music unfolds with an organic logic, attentive to resonance and decay. Each sound carries a trace of where it was found, inviting listeners into a space that feels intimate, grounded and gently exploratory.
