Estelle Schorpp is a French-born, Montreal-based composer
and sound artist working across composition, performance and installation. Her sonic
palette blends analog and digital synthesis, acoustic instruments, and field
recordings transformed through algorithmic processes.
Balancing rigor and precision with intuition and emotional sensitivity, her work navigates the tensions between minimalism and density, structure and expressivity, intellectual inquiry and sensual impact. She creates hybrid sonic environments where the real and the artificial, the naturalistic and the fantastical, the human and the non-human subtly intertwine.
Guided by deep listening and experimentation, she is particularly interested in the physical qualities of sound and in how sonic structures can generate intimate perceptual and emotional experiences.
From 2019 to 2023, her work explored ecosystemic composition, sound ecology, and soundscape studies, culminating in pieces such as Écosystème(s), Anémochorie(s) and A Conversation Between a Partially Educated Parrot.
Her first album, In My Ears (for Maryanne) (LINE, 2024), marks a new phase in her work, expanding her compositional language toward spectrality, narrative, and emotional intensity.
She also composes for dance and cinema.
Since 2022, she teaches at the Music Faculty of Université de Montréal (CA).
In 2023, she was selected by the Biennale College Musica in Venice. Along with nine other composers, performers and musicians, she was given an artistic residency to produce her performance A Conversation Between a Partially Educated Parrot and a Machine premiered at the Biennale Musica di Venezia 2023 curated by Lucia Ronchetti. Her work is founded by several research and creation grants and has been presented internationaly at festivals such as La Biennale di Venezia (IT), Ars Electronica (AT), MUTEK (MX, CA, AR, JP), Norberg Festival (SE), Akousma (CA), FIMAV (CA), Le Mans Sonore (FR), Exhibitronic (FR, DE), MuTeFest (FI) and at galleries such as Centre d'Exposition de l'Université de Montréal (CA), Palais des Beaux-Arts de Paris (FR) and Exhibition Laboratory (FI). Her research has been presented in several symposiums at ISEA22 (SP), CIRMMT (CA), Université de Montréal (CA) and EHESS (FR) and she regularly publishes peer-reviewed papers as main author or co-author. In 2016 she received the first Exhibitronic award for her electroacoustic composition Bagdad 9ème siècle. Estelle Schorpp graduated from École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (MFA) and from the Music Faculty of Université de Montréal (Master of Music).
