Mélia Roger

Mélia Roger (b. 1996, France) is a field recordist and artist engaged to inspire ecological change with environmental and empathic listening. Her work explores the sonic poetics of the landscape, searching for the invisible layers between human and non-humans. Coming from a sound engineering background (ENS Louis-Lumière in Paris, ZHdK in Zürich), Mélia is developing a twofold activity between immersive 7.0.2 sound recordings within HAL studio, as well as a more experimental and naturalistic approach to listening. Now at Le Fresnoy (Contemporary Art Studio, France), she is a practice-based PhD candidate at the University of Lille, focusing on the relations between sound arts and acoustic ecology.
