Born in France and living in Geneva, Anouck Genthon is a violinist. Her musical achievements pay particular attention to sound and listening. She explores the potential of her instrument while developing a personal language enriched by improvisations and compositions. She collaborates in several duos with Lionel Marchetti, Ed Williams, Antoine Läng, David Meier and Laura Schuler as well as with the trio tangent mek, the LGBS Quartet, Le UN, Insub., and the Grand Chahut Collectif.
Her interest in sound is also expressed through devices that integrate walking in situ. Attuned to the environment, she develops her work based on the conditions of sound propagation and perception (Song walk with me w/Antoine Läng, Notice w/Mathias Forge, A l’affût w/Grand Chahut Collectif, Ring w/Jason Khan, Olga Kokcharova, Antoine Läng).
Trained as an ethnomusicologist, she retains in her musical performance the traces of the Tuareg musicians she encountered during her filed work in Niger.
