Laetitia Sonami is a pioneering French sound artist and performer whose work has redefined the relationship between body, technology, and sound. After studying with Éliane Radigue in France, she moved to the United States in 1977 to pursue electronic music at SUNY-Albany and the Center for Contemporary Music at Mills College. Her performances, live film collaborations, and sound installations explore presence, participation, and the intimacy of sound, transforming places and objects into poetic interfaces of perception. A pioneer in wearable technologies, Sonami designed gestural controllers that turned movement into sound. Her iconic “lady’s glove” (1991)—an elegant, sensor-laden interface—became her primary instrument for 25 years and inspired a generation of artists to rethink the body’s role in electronic performance. Continuing her exploration of embodied interfaces, she developed the “Spring Spyre” (2013), integrating machine learning into real-time sound synthesis, and more recently the minimalist “lady’s ball(s)”. Sonami has collaborated with artists including Paul DeMarinis, SUE-C, James Fei, and Zeena Parkins, and has performed at major international festivals and venues. A recipient of the Herb Alpert Award and the Foundation for Contemporary Music Award, she has also taught at the San Francisco Art Institute, Mills College, and Bard College MFA.
