| Biography | Marie Delprat (FR/CH 1991) is a musician, composer and performer based in Basel. Her work combines early music with contemporary and experimental music, EDM, ambient, techno and minimalism. She is fascinated by hybrid performances that interweave sound, movement and visual elements to create immersive spaces of encounter. She is particularly interested in how fragility can be transformed into strength and how music can reveal intimacy, vulnerability and exhaustion as powerful forms of resistance and renewal. Her pieces are created from raw electronic beats, processed and layered vocals, and finely crafted sound textures. Each project is a dialogue between her evolving stage persona and the audience – a way of questioning perception and identity. She often integrates spoken fragments, breathing sounds and extended vocal techniques into dense rhythmic structures, so that the human voice remains present even in massive layers of electronic sound. In her performances, she conceives of the stage as a living installation: light, scenography and movement become part of the composition, transforming concerts into immersive spaces of experience. Her musical journey began with classical training on the recorder and led to a master's degree in composition and creative practice at the Bern University of the Arts. This training gave her a deep understanding of structure and acoustic sensitivity – skills she now translates into electronic and hybrid forms. Her solo discography began with Life Is Sick (Unvague, 2023), inspired by the writings of Sylvia Plath, and continued with Ethereal Realms – all fiction is metaphor (2024), a performance about persona, gender and alterity. These projects enabled her to further develop her own sonic language and form a personal approach to the voice as an instrument and figure. Since 2023, she has been an associate artist at the Dampfzentrale Bern, where she researches and presents new works. In 2025, she was selected for the SHAPE+ platform, which supports innovative music and audiovisual art across Europe. Rooted in experimental electronica but open to club and pop contexts, she pursues the goal of creating a distinctive sound language that resonates across different spaces and audiences. Her work invites listeners into intimate and transformative spaces of experience, where vulnerability is understood not as weakness, but as a creative force that can change the way we hear, feel and connect.
