Bonifas Elise

BONIFAS Elise studied classical violin at the Conservatoire de Nice, then studied musicology at the University of Nice. In 2019, she validated her diploma as a specialist educator at the Institut Saint-Simon in Toulouse. That same year, she joined the Conservatoire de Toulouse in electroacoustic composition in the class of Bertrand Dubedout and obtained in June 2023 her CEM with honors of Guillaume Hermen. It is formed in parallel to the sound documentary with the organization Phonurgia and will be a finalist at the Phonurgia Nova Awards in the category "Discoveries Pierre Schaeffer" in 2022. In 2021, she met the actress Lucille Régnier and created the Cie l'ETE - L'Enveloppement Tenace des Etreintes. In 2023, they co-created their first show "Les Bas-Bleus, d’après l’oeuvre et la vie de Louise Colet", a show currently on tour. Elise will play in several festivals (Futura Festival, ARCAN Festival, ByPass Festival, Supersonic Festival, Peripherique...). She graduated in October 2023 from a training of live sound technicians.

Moisissure
08:30 (2023)

My piece “Moisissure” represents the movements and frequencies emitted by yeast cells. This project came to mind because being able to hear them allows you to listen to life on a tiny level. The poetry of this meeting particularly moved me. Sonocytology, the term defining the amplification of oscillations of cells at human ear level, allowed me to hear their signals. Listening to these first sounds, I was inspired for the composition of this piece. I then developed it in time by wanting to make their mode of operation heard, for example via the auditory and visual illustration of the scissiparity - mode of divisions of unicellular beings consisting in doubling in length, then split into two identical cells that separate again. I called this room Mold in order to develop an imaginary around them because the yeast cells are unicellular fungi.
