Rehab Hazgui is a Tunisian composer and sound ecologist. Her artworks explore ways to learn new forms of languages through conscious listening and the relationship that beings have with their culture, heritage, society and landscape as involved and living participants. Her research examines the ways in which sound emerges through dynamic landscapes, including those that are biological, geophysical, and of human consequences. Rehab Hazgui’s primary focus is the act of listening to oneself, as it relates to our perception of space, our relationship to it, and the profound level of engagement that our ears provide with the world.

In her music she is constantly exploring the endless movement of sound, repetition, and the use of silence as a third space to navigate between different forms of listening. At the heart of her sonic research is the concept of achieving a synergetic cognitive interaction, which involves the seamless collaboration between human and machine to create an integrated and boundary-pushing musical performance. Her music is a unique and innovative experience that transcends traditional notions of music and technology, offering an unparalleled sonic journey for the listener. Her sonic creations challenge the listener’s perception of time and space, showcasing her distinct approach to sonic experimentation and exploration. Rehab Hazgui’s work has been presented in many festivals and venues: Phonetics (Algiers), CTM (Berlin), Kikk (Namur, Belgium), Savvy Contemporary (Berlin), Phonetics (Saint Denis, Paris), Perte de Signal (Montreal), Sight & Sound (Montreal), The Mannheimer Sommer Festival (Mannheim, Germany); as well as countless workshops across Europe on building DIY synthesizer and audio devices.
