NOUM /nu:m/ is a rock band that grew stranger as time went by. It is led by folk and electronic artist Noémie Ducimetière, whose ancient music explorations bloom in this project. Through her vocals, tiny guitar and mountain of hardware, the project transmutes its roots of folk, grunge and rave music to shake the divide between the experimental and the traditional. Electronic artist and instrument maker Vahakn Matossian (Sonnen), who has been a part of Noum since formation, will join Noémie in this Rosehill Residency to cultivate an attitude of exploration in performance and work on bringing improvisation to the stage.
