F\u00e9lix Blume (France, 1984) is a sound artist, field-recordist and sound engineer. Currently based in the rural French countryside where he grew up, he has completed numerous projects in Mexico, Brazil and other countries of Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He utilises sound as a primary medium across sound pieces, video works, actions and installations. His creative process is often collaborative, involving local communities and using public spaces as a context for his experimentations and presentations. Blume\u2019s practice extends beyond conventional listening, inviting audiences to engage with the imperceptible and facilitating encounters with others through sound. He incorporates a diverse array of sounds from different beings and species \u2014 from the hum of bees, the steps of turtles or the chirping of crickets \u2014 alongside human dialogues within both natural and urban environments. With a keen interest in myths and their contemporary interpretations, Blume explores the narratives that voices convey beyond mere words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His sound pieces have been aired on radio stations worldwide and he has showcased his work at various international festivals and exhibitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He has been awarded with the \u201cSoundscape\u201d prize (2018) for his video work Curupira, Creature of the Woods and the \u201cPierre Schaeffer\u201d prize (2015) for his work Los Gritos de M\u00e9xico at the Phonurgia Nova Awards.
