Sara Lehad creates sound performances through no-input mixing, turning the mixer into an autonomous synthesizer. Feedback, effects pedals and granular voices collide into a music of friction — noise, musique concrète, Algerian echoes. Amplified silence, for her, is an allegory of postcolonial silencing : what has been suppressed, rendered inaudible, and finds form through distortion which is a reterritorialization.

“In Elizabethan England, a “noyse” could be a musical ensemble, such as the one that supplied a “heavenly melodie” for Queen Elizabeth I’s coronation pageant.”

Noyse Ensemble is an industrial punk experiment where technical artefacts, feedback, and industrial textures interfere.
