Profile
Dinahbird is a radio artist, feature maker, and co-founder of Project IOI. She makes radio programmes, audio publications, installations, and soundtracks. Her narrative based sound collages are a poetic flux of storytelling, anecdote, music and field recordings. Recents works have been played on BBCR4, France Culture\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s Atelier de Création Radiophonique and on Kunst Radio. At present she is giving sound workshops at the Museum of Modern Art, Paris.
Artiste sonore anglaise travaillant à Paris et à Londres, co-fondatrice du Project 101 en 2001, Dinahbird est une spécialiste de la collecte sonore, organisée par le jeu du détournement et de la réappropriation en collages poétiques. Ses créations, qu\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'elles soient installation, musique de films ou live-set, furent notamment diffusées sur la BBC radio 4, sur Radio France lors des Ateliers de Creation Radiophonique et sur la Kunst Radio autrichienne. Elle anime actuellement un atelier de création sonore au Musée d\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris.
