about me

who am i?

My name is elda wicker. I am a young French composer and multimedia artist living near Paris, France.

I compose electronic music, as broadly speaking as it gets. I usually use many recordings and I love to work with sonic textures. I also make photography, poems, video, or other kind of medias, whatever pleases me at a given time.

I'm a former student at the Groupe de Recherche Musicale in Paris, a national institution created in the fifties allowing for all kinds of fringe music to thrive outside commercial circuits in France and around the world. As such, following the educative traditions and missions of this group, I opened my ears to all kinds of musics in how they sound, and not necessarily for what they represent.

I also have been trained to perform on the Acousmonium, an electroacoustic orchestra of loudspeakers, and other kinds of complex diffusion systems.

contact me

I sometimes check my inbox on instagram, but the best way to contact me is via email (contact@eldawicker.net) because I guess I'm old school like that…

But if you really are as ancient as I can be, you can send me mail (yes, physical mail!) at this address :

why french?

Most of my long form articles and catalog are in French. I know it isn't the best for growth, but when I talk about art and what drives me, I need to use my native language : some things are hard to explain, but can be almost impossible when translating to another linguistic realm.

I use English on every other platform I use, because they're meant to be viewed by everyone, but this website is more personal I guess.

If, however, you would like to translate some things here, get in touch, maybe we can work something out!

why this website?

I'm deeply passionate about art, sounds and emotions they give me, and I wanted to share this obsession with others who might be interested. I also wanted others to hear and understand what and why I create, in hope that it will somehow resonate with them.

But I have always struggled with social media. I wanted a safe and quiet space where I could share what I cherish but would be lost on other platforms, and maybe share some of myself. That is why I created this little island in this big ocean of copper and glass…
