ABOUT ME
Virginie Viel

I am a doctor of Philosophy in Music, a composer of electroacoustic music. , a pastry chef and I also practise photography. 

My purpose as an artist is to offer to the public various opportunities to experience their senses in various ways… visually through photography, musically through music composition, installations, or audiovisual works and tastefully through pastries. 

My works invite to travel through an imaginary world, yours…  somewhere between the known and the unknown… a space where memories,  mental projections, symbols, physical sensations meet to trigger feelings, emotions…

The practice of wandering and the adoption of a contemplative behaviour towards nature are  part of my creative process, in both photography and music. 
The design of musical immersive space (from stereo to multiple channels) allows me to imagine one’s spatial motion over time and how one’s bodily experience can influence the emergence of mental images.

My PhD, entitled ”Multi-form visualisation : An approach to acousmatic composition” led me to investigate further more the relationship between visual, aural and kinesthetic perceptions in the composition and perception of music. My pieces features my interests in that field. 

Since 2012, I am part of Seneçon Collective, located in Brussels. I have also collaborated with multiple composers to a wide range of musical and audiovisual projects, from photo exhibitions, short movies, live electronics to acousmatic pieces. My works have been performed throughout Europe, America, in Australia and Japan.

As a pastry chef, I designed vegan pastries. Over the past two years, I have worked in restaurants in Paris, Eygalieres and Bordeaux. 

Today, I work on projects aiming to bring together visual, musical and culinary worlds… A couple of months ago (2023), I built my own company, Intuitio Studio. It is a production studio, specialized in Sound ID, Podcasts, filmed interview for businesses and corporate photography. You can check out my business here :  www.intuitio-studio.fr
