Ancient Songs
Ancient Songs is a collaborative project by Sergei Leonov and Jeanne Pâris, developed within the residency program of L'Abri – Genève. The duo merges electronic music and early music through bold reinterpretations of works by Guillaume de Machaut, Hildegard von Bingen, and traditional European medieval folk songs.
Combining vielle à roue, synthesizers, and voice, the project contrasts the fragility of ancient melodies with the raw energy of hard techno
Invasion (mais tkt ce n'est pas une invasion)
Invasion (mais tkt ce n'est pas une invasion) is a live audiovisual improvisation created for L'Abri Portes Ouvertes 2025, featuring composer and sound artist Sergei Leonov in collaboration with actress and director Arianna Camilli and her project Some Sapphic Gesture.
Presented as an open dialogue between movement and sound, the performance unfolded through spontaneous interaction between live electronics, amplified piano, and drum machine, intertwined with a pre-recorded text written and performed by Arianna Camilli.
e deRanged.xd
e deRanged.xd is a live audiovisual performance by composer and sound artist Sergei Leonov, created in collaboration with percussionist Alexandra Bellon and the visual design duo PixelDV (Léa Delescluse and Guillaume Verger).
Blending analog and digital instruments, intricate rhythms, and immersive visuals, the project explores the boundaries between experimental electronics, breakcore energy, and post-minimalist texture. Drawing on recordings made with historical synthesizers from the SMEM collection in Fribourg, e deRanged.xd merges groove, chaos, and sonic precision into a raw yet hypnotic experience that bridges music, movement, and visual art.
