KRIS MESS | SOUND BATH

Sound baths
Each season, a series of sound baths will bring together three artists, each of whom will perform three times, once every two months. This programme is an opportunity for these residents to experiment with the evolution between each performance, to invite other artists to collaborate and to familiarise themselves with the sound system and its possibilities.

Kris Mess
Melanie meystre is a multidisciplinary artist from Vevey who lives and works in Fribourg. After studying visual arts at EDHEA (Bachelor of Fine Arts), she continued her studies at the HKB (Master in Contemporary Art Practice), where she focused her artistic practice on performance.

Attracted to music as a child, she decided in 2022 to integrate her self-taught sound practice with her performance practice, and moved from the virtual space of soundcloud, where she used to share her music, to give her first concert, under the name kris mess.

kris mess is an organised mess, an eclectic mix of electronic, club and pop influences, interspersed with ethereal and sometimes brutal sounds and melodies, driven by a desire to blur genres as a way of unsettling the listener's experience.
