Alan Affichard arpente les zones de friction entre pratiques d’installations sonores, artisanat, science et nouvelles technologies.
Les instruments composites qu’il conçoit mettent en jeu des forces physiques, pneumatiques, aquatiques et thermoacoustiques qui ouvrent sur de nouveaux modes de composition musicale.

In his work, Alan Affichard questions the place of sound practices in contemporary art and their possible points of friction with craft, science and new technologies. The fruit of meticulous research, the sound devices and instruments he makes bring into play physical and acoustic forces as a method of musical composition. They are activated in the form of performances or immersive installations, the aim being not only to explore new ways of producing sound, but also to propose new ways of listening to it.
After obtaining a DNSEP in France at the École supérieure des beaux-arts de Nantes (2016), he joined the Berlin Program for Artists, Berlin (2017), and then did a Post-Master on sound practices at the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm (2018-2019).
