Aja - Live

AUDITORIUM

Aja is the solo project of Clémence Quélennec. After touring with the French rock band La Femme for eight years, Clémence chose to move to Morocco to seek solitude in the wilderness as a way of reconnecting with herself and getting back to her roots. Having discovered the digital tools of Ableton, she embarked on a solo artistic project with only her computer, her keyboard and the music of nature, which serves as inspiration for her mesmerising, luminous, evocative melodies.

8.50 P.M.-10.30 P.M.

Maud Geffray - DJ Set

Maud Geffray is an electronic music composer known for her powerful, captivating, and dreamlike universe. Under the Pan European label, she has released two solo albums where her danceable and exhilarating tracks sit alongside some of the finest contemplative and melancholic compositions. She also paid a striking tribute to Philip Glass, a composer she deeply admires, with "Still Life," a musical piece written for synthesizers and harp, which was endorsed by Glass himself. Additionally, she composes soundtracks for cinema and the art world, notably collaborating with contemporary artist Xavier Veilhan in 2021. In 2022, she created the first and highly acclaimed official remix of Eric Serra's "The Big Blue." She is also a composer and singer in the legendary duo Scratch Massive, which will release a new album in 2024.
