Between sound art and live performance, Marie Delprat’s work blends digital and analog approaches, with a particular focus on the meeting point between modern electronic and early musicality. Her projects often incorporate a stage persona that evolves through interactions with the audience, allowing her to explore questions of identity and perception while moving fluidly between different musical aesthetics.

She first trained in recorder and early music at the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles, then continued her studies at the Bern University of the Arts (HKB). After several years working within more structured musical frameworks, she gradually shifted toward improvisation, composition, and performance.

Since completing her studies at HKB, she has received support through various programs. She has been an associated artist at Dampfzentrale Bern since 2023, took part in the Friendly Take Over program at Gare du Nord (Basel) from 2022 to 2025, and participated in the Creators Connection Program (2021–2023) between Gare du Nord and O.Festival in Rotterdam. In 2020, she received the Coup de Cœur prize from the Canton of Bern, and in 2025, she was selected for the SHAPE+ platform.

Marie Delprat – What remains after desire
Live | North American premiere

In What Remains After Desire, sound artist Marie Delprat explores what lingers after intensity fades. Layered voices, minimal rhythmic structures, and Baroque-ornamented electronic textures shape an environment in constant flux between fatigue, intimacy, and exposure, dappled with fragments from writers Ariana Reines, Éric Fiat, and Kae Tempest.
