Jacques Demierre:

Jacques Demierre (1954), pianiste, performeur et compositeur, son travail musical et sonore se 
développe dans diverses directions: musique improvisée, musique contemporaine, poésie sonore, 
installation sonore. 

Ses compositions et réalisations sonores questionnent essentiellement l’écoute et l’espace sonore.
Il collabore avec de nombreux musiciens improvisateurs - Barre Philips, Urs Leimgruber, Thomas Lehn,
Martial Solal, Radu Malfatti, Joëlle Léandre, Axel Dörner, Fritz hauser, Sainkho Namtchylak, Urs 
Blöchlinger, Irene Schweizer, Hans Koch, Isabelle Duthoit, Brandon Labelle, Jason Kahn, Butch 
Morris, Carlos Zingaro, Gunter Müller, Jaap Blonk, Barry Guy, Lucas Niggli, Sylvie Courvoisier, 
Hann Bennink, Rhodri Davis, Martin Schütz, Paul Lovens, Dorothea Schürch, Phil Minton, …

Il donne régulièrement des concerts de piano solo et est actif avec Vincent Barras dans le champ 
de la performance et de la poésie sonore.

„Le travail de Jacques Demierre dépasse l’articulation de premier degré entre musique et poésie. 
Improvisation au piano seul [...], travail sur la musique de la langue et dans la langue : plus 
n’est besoin de confrontation. Chaque medium reconnaît, assume, réfléchit ses limites et trouve 
dans cette réflexion l’instrument de son dépassement.“ (Ph.L.)
