Méryll Ampe is a sculptor and sound artist whose work swings between both practices.

After studying wood sculpture at the Ecole Boulle (Paris), Méryll leads a visual and sound creation at the Beaux-Arts School of Paris-Cergy.

Méryll Ampe develops artworks through field recordings and electronics. Ampe conceives sound as a medium to be sculpted in real-time and improvises from analog sources (oscillators, filters, drum machines). Playing with interweaving volumes, perspectives, and dynamics, Méryll creates sharp and raw materials. Méryll Ampe also likes to skirt sound limits and dig into its flesh with a permanent interest in roughness and porosity. In live performances, Ampe engages instinctively and radically, calling upon the listening of the place and the body that serves as a barometer to weave massive sound states that unfold, intersect, mix, or decompose. The result is thunderous bursts of abstract noise and rhythmic saturations.
