Aurélie Lierman - ( BE/RW) °1980) - is a composer, a radio maker and a vocalist from Brussels. Exploring the power of texture, sound and unusual instrumentation. She loves applying all of this in a minimal context, adding very often theatrical or cinematic elements to the performance practice of her compositions.

Lately she's trying new directions by fusing the art of radio and composition into something she would call: "Afrique -concrète". Aurélie Lierman travelled several times throughout Africa in an attempt to capture the soundscape of modern rural and urban Africa. Her ongoing project AFRICA ON TAPE is a growing database of the field recordings collected on those epic trips. At the same time a source of inspiration for new compositions, performances and installations.
