I am Denis Gente, a sound artist living and working in Brittany, France.
Sound is my core material — not as illustration, but as a space for attention, fiction and ecological resonance. My practice relies on field recordings captured with omni and directional microphones, then reworked through spectral analysis or algorithmic composition. Sound becomes a hybrid body: partly observed, partly invented.
My installations are interactive and respond to presence, gesture and touch. They unfold as semi-random sonic ecosystems where listening is exploratory, sensorial and slightly off-center.
The common thread is the fragility of non-human life — species, landscapes and phenomena threatened by human activity. I approach these topics through poetic shifts rather than discourse, letting sound suggest, displace, or suspend.
Alongside installations, I design and lead participatory workshops with FabLabs, schools and art venues. This collective making feeds the works and opens the process to other viewpoints — technical, intuitive, or simply curious.
My works are spaces for listening, interpretation and co-construction, where sound reveals what is vanishing — and what still needs to be imagined.
