Méryll Ampe (b. 1984) is a French sculptor, sound artist and composer based in Paris. He conceives sound as a medium to be sculpted in real time and improvises from analog sources (synthé modular and drum machine). Playing with the interweaving of volumes, perspectives and dynamics, he creates sharp and very raw materials. He also likes to skirt the limits of sound and dig into its flesh with a permanent interest for roughness and porosity. In live performances, Méryll Ampe engages instinctively and radically, calling upon the listening of the place and the body that serves as a barometer to weave massive sound states that unfold, intersect, mix or decompose. The result is thunderous bursts of abstract noise and rhythmic saturations.
