Hugo Mir-Valette [codename: Cathara] is a composer and artist.
Currently based in Marseille, he initiated the collaborative sound laboratory editing.world.grid.

His practice includes film scores, performances, installations, choreographic pieces,DJ sets, writings, data design and workshops.

Cathara cultivates perspectives through sound, composing a music of environments, close to orality, prosodies and natural rythms, drawing inspiration from his Mediterranean culture, in the North of the South.

Cathara listens to abyssal mythologies, sub-commons, sub-cultures, personal legends, philosophies and rituals. Through research and collaborations, Cathara invites to deep listening with electronic technologies.

Cathara‘s practice is inspired by cymatic waves and fractal forms to compose soundscapes with liquid borders, actively eroding stereotypes, among other eurocentric or anthropocentric musical dogmas, considered as obsolete barriers between the mind and the <3.

One of the latest developments is a vibrating sound device, the Membrane, for  Swell of spæc(i)es by Josèfa Ntjam, LAS Foundation, Academia di Belle Arte, Venice Biennale 2024.
