Lucie Nezri is a composer, artist, and performer born in Hyères (France) and currently based in Den Haag (Netherlands). Nezri is drawn toward abstraction, simplicity and ‘not knowing’. Her work bridges different contexts and disciplines pertaining to musical composition, tuning theory, musicology, computer science, and, at times, choreography. Her pieces combine algorithmic techniques of composition based on probabilities, and an equal for care melody and harmony. She is especially interested in exploring/making different versions of her own pieces and in reconstructing algorithmic pieces made by others, as a means to understand and view these works from multiple angles. Last but not least, she considers music primarily as an experience to be shared and composes her pieces as invitations to ‘play’ and dedicated to loved ones. Nezri holds a Bachelor’s and a Master’s from The Institute of Sonology at the Royal Conservatoire The Hague (Netherlands). Following her long-standing practice of making experimental music mixtapes, she launched the first release of her small independent label dedicated to experimental music, dis ce que, in February 2022. Since September 2022, Nezri has been a research associate at the Institute of Sonology and coordinates the festival Echonance at Orgelpark since 2023.
