Christine Webster is a French sound artist, composer and researcher, whose work spans electroacoustic composition, improvisation, films and virtual reality projects.
Webster studied electroacoustic music in the 1980s and worked as a sound engineer in audio post-production studios for French TV and cinema. She was several times nominee, Webster sound designed Joana Lurie's "Le silence sous l'écorce" on competition in 2011 for the Oscar animation films category. Webster was aired on several French radio stations (France Musique, France Culture..).
A lot of the sound work Webster produced between 1998 and 2011 was influenced by cinema and literature, giving her experimental sound work an articulated and pseudo narrative aspect. During this period she released two CDs, Wild Orion and Ushuu.
Focusing on the potential of ambisonic and binaural technologies applied to VR scenes, Webster developed the Empty Room project, an immersive electroacoustic composition, directly spatialized in VR. The project has been featured in International art centers and VR exhibitions.
In 2012, Webster's compositions became more abstract and organic, using the wide range and possibilities of modular synthesis, in the search of more immediate expressivity, liveness and spatiality. She has performed on the experimental and modular scene in different places around Europe.
In 2017, Sublunar and Webster signed a deal, and in 2018 the album Iceberg the Drift was released.
