Sounds Unlimited 57: Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman

07. December 2023

Aurélie Nyirabikali Lierman is a Belgian-Rwandan composer, radio and vocal
artist, as well as a pioneer of Afro-European radio art and musical theatre, whose work has been described as bold, provocative and delicate. She brings unique stories to life in an accessible and at the same time innovative way: based on acoustic sounds and soundscapes that she moves around like a kind of 3D cinema, but for the ears. She records all the sound recordings in her work herself during her many field recording expeditions to East-Africa. In 2023 she created Umva! an intimate ode to Kanyoni Ladislas, her 113-year-old grandfather and one of the last traditional doctors and hunters in Rwanda. She collaborates with other artists in a variety of disciplines and fields and has won many prizes at home and abroad.

Aurélie will present an installation at Sonic Matter Festival in Zurich this Sunday and we're very happy to have managed this talented artist coming by and visiting us for the last Sounds Unlimited event of the year to talk about her amazing work and to present us two award winning radio pieces she did.
