BASS HOLOGRAMS
Electronic Bass Solo
Floy Krouchi
fretless bass and electronic composition
Inspired by Indian music and its most ancient instrument, the Rudra Veena,
Floy Krouchi has developed an augmented bass which uses electronics and
real-time transformation. Within stripped down bass frequencies and the
slowness of oscillations a relationship to silence is mapped out, one that
takes us to the very edge of sound, “inside time”.
Rhythm, mass, fabric - from noise based pulsation to amplified silence each solo is a unique piece, recorded at a precise moment in time, numbered
and dated like a painting or an artefact.
The Bass Holograms series is a Césaré coproduction. In 2014, commissioned by the GRM and
entitled “Bass Holograms #105” order. Presented at: Elektricity festival (Reims), Multiphonies
GRM (Paris), Le Phénix (Valenciennes), Lieu Multiple (Poitiers) and Nuit d’Hiver festival
(Marseille).
She was able to extend this project thanks to a residence at Villa Medicis Hors
les murs in 2009 and released the album A Stream of Love with Indian songstress
Sumathi. Since 2010, she has created Hôrspiel radiophonic pieces for la Muse en
Circuit and l’Atelier de Création Radiophonique at France Culture : Hijras diaries
and Couvre-feux were awarded the Prix Italia in 2011, the prix international d’Art
radiophonique Luc Ferrari in 2010 and the Phonurgia Nova prize in 2013.
Floy Krouchi composes musical pieces and sound performances for different media
- concerts, exhibitions, web-art, experimental video, cinema, dance, installations and has regularly collaborated with various artists and trans-disciplinary collectives
in Europe and in India.
In 2012, she took part in Kassel’s Documenta 13. In 2014, she recorded an album,
Below Sea Level, with Mark Bingham at the Piety Street studio, New Orleans, and
took part in the New Delhi Biennial.

Tokyo, Nuit Blanche, GRM, Présences Électroniques, Elektricity) and abroad (Spain,
