DISTURBIO (JEROME NOETINGER, ANGELICA CASTELLO)

Born in April 1966 in Marseille, Jérôme Noetinger discovered experimental music under the influence of the Déficit Des Années Antérieures in Caen. He is a composer, improviser, and sound artist working with electroacoustic devices. Jerome composes musique concrete in the studio and performs improvised music using electroacoustic devices such as the reel-to-reel tape recorder Revox B77, magnetic tape, analogue synthesizers, mixing desks, speakers, microphones, various electronic household objects, and homemade electronica. He performs solo and in ensembles, collaborates often, and tours extensively internationally.

Jerome used to be the director of Metamkine, a non-profit organization dedicated to the distribution of improvised and electroacoustic music, which has now been changed to Corticalart with different personnel.

Angélica Castelló was born in Mexico City in 1972. She works as a composer and sound artist. Her compositions concentrate on fragility, the dream world, and the subconscious. Angelica performs solo or in cooperations between Mexico City and Vienna. She has numerous compositions for ensembles, radio works, and installations that operate at the interface of music, performance, and visual arts. Angelica has several releases on labels like Interstellar Records, Mikroton Recordings, or Monotype Records.

In February 2023, DISTURBIO will cross France and Switzerland for a series of nine concerts expressing their highly cinematic art of sound. To spice up the tour, they invite other musician friends to join them on certain dates: Aude Romary on cello, Antoine Läng on voice and jaw harp, Mathias Forge on cello and cassettes, and Natacha Muslera on voice. Four captivating performances with four distinct personalities. The duo DISTURBIO lives as a constellation of samples and loops, radios and field recordings, on cassettes and tapes, with magical, diaphanous voices hidden away, not forgetting the tremors of a flute on magnetic captures.
