Suzanne Thoma

(Aut/Can)

This austrian-canadian vidéaste and graphic designer has developed a very eclectic musical resumé over the past 10 years. As a singer-composer she has collaborated with groups such as Elgam, Lab°,Nolderise, and M83. For these past 10 she has also been actively involved in the duo Octet for which she composes, produces, and sings. Octet's last remix was "Girl" produced for Beck. Her organic and sensual approach is also evident on her numerous electronic compositions for various contemporary video works such as "Macula" Henri Foucault (Biennale de Venice), "Mon père au Vietnam" Suzanne Thoma (Musée du Jeu de Paume, Paris), and "From Dirt to Dust" Suzanne Thoma (Conservatoire Georges Bizet, Paris).

But that day.... I didn't do a thing.
Between Chris and I , it didn't fit in the story.
It's awkward and it's often the case,
it's a way to gain space.
It's awful isn't?"
