Soumaya Phéline
Soumaya Phéline explores CDJism/turntablism with a focus on DJing’s performative aspect, redefining CDJs, turntables, and mixers as creative instruments. Her cinematic approach transforms tracks into narrative tools, crafting immersive sonic storytelling. Jamming plays a central role, generating a rich pool of audio and visual material for sampling and refining choreographic movements. Pushing musical and bodily boundaries, she balances precision and improvisation, embracing the spirit of reinvention inherent in turntablism.
