about

Born in Nantes in 1961, Michel Guillet began in 1978 to work music in a noisy way, with analog synthesizers and tapes, and creates with Muriel Laporte the experimental and ephemeral group, 79/80, Mu and Mi sing life, Michel, analog synth and Muriel, hunting horn, bass and voice.

Stopping is short, but very significant for him, musical practice in 1981, he then engages in a work of visual artist and works on the relationship between identity and daily space in the form of installations, objects, wall drawing, questioning the accepted codes of representation and automatisms of perception.
The first solo show happened in 1984 in Nantes, which he left in 1985 to settle in Paris. His work is shown in many galleries and centers of contemporary art. His works are present in public and private collections, in France and abroad. The last personal exhibition dates from 2009, when he decided to end his practice as a visual artist, and decides to devote himself exclusively to music.

The first concert was held at the Circuit Gallery in Lausanne in 2000.

Michel Guillet composes an electroacoustic music with noisy accents, which owes as much to the beginnings of the concrete music as to the more contemporary noise-experiments. The work is elaborated on the creation of heterogeneous sound sequences assembled in a very precise way. They act in interaction and tension, creating a drawing space often dense enough and in perpetual motion.

He regularly collaborates with contemporary choreographers, Marco Berrettini, Donata d'Urso, Sylvain Prunenec and Claudia Triozzi, for whom he composes music for live performances, as well as with visual artists for wich he composed sound environments, music videos.

He is the author of four discs, The End Between 2005, Without Shade 2008, Behind Nothing 2011, Unstable Distance 2014. He has participated in several festivals, Presences Electroniques, Free Son, La Folle Journée, European Sound Delta, Mal aux Pixel , Licenses, L’Homme aux deux Oreilles. He played with the musicians, Palix, Haco, Samon Takahashi, Markus Schmickler, and opened for Keith Fullerton Whitman, Greg Davis, David Watson and Otomo Yoshihide.
