Félicia Atkinson

Félicia Atkinson is a French artist, musician, and composer  born in 1981 whose work moves between sound, poetry, silence, and  imagination. She is the co-curator of the music label and book imprint Shelter Press.

Her practice explores listening and composing as a way of inhabiting space, attending to fragments, textures, echoes, and forms of memory.

She is interested in the porous boundaries between electroacoustic composition, improvisation on piano , poetry, and installation.

Through electronic composition, voice, field recordings, and performance, she released more than 15 albums including The Flower and the Vessel, Space an Instrument and Sans Visage and reviewed by Pitchfork, Art Forum, Bomb Magazine, The Quietus….

Her work has been released on Shelter Press, RVNG, Portraits INA GRM,  and presented at venues and festivals including The Long Play New York, The Barbican London, Volksbuehne Berlin or Maison de la radio in Paris.
