Sobre

Camille Emaille is a French percussionist born in 1993 in Nice. She studied in Basel with Christian Dierstein contemporary music and with Fred Frith free improvisation . In 2016 she was a guest scholar at Mills College and studied there with William Winant, Fred Frith and Roscoe Mitchell. In 2017 she released her first solo album on the portugese label Creatives Sources Recordings. She considers music a part of everything, part of everyday life. That's why she began to improvise, to feel music more as a flux, as something which is already here, something that we just jump into... She works with many artists from varying fields, such as video, shadow theater with the show Fontanalbe and plays in the musical projects Oxke Fixu (duo with clarinet), Ghoast (duo with american saxophonist Tom Weeks), ESCARGOT (her quintet with Timothée Quost on trumpet, Xavière Fertin on clarinet, Louis Frères on e-bass and Tom Malmendier on drums). She used to organize and play in "wild" events, happenings that took place in unusual locations such as closed tunnels, abandoned hospitals, highway bridges, old synagogues (festival Myosotis); events where people go without any knowledge of what will transpire... In 2018 she took part of the creation of the last work from Heiner Goebbels "Everything that happened and would happen" during the Manchester International Festival. She played in concert with Fred Frith, Peter Brötzmann, Fritz Hauser, Hans Koch, William Winant, Lê Quan Ninh, Zeena Parkins...
