Multipolar is the experimental noise duo of Teddy Larue and Marie Kollek. Marie Kollek is a sociologist and doctoral candidate in cultural science. In her academic and artistic work she is interested in critical knowledge production, classism, power structures and genderperspectives.
Multipolar is fusioning the two personalities. Their performances weave together rhythmic tapestries, abstract harmonies, eco-dystopian field recordings, and pulsating bass lines, creating an immersive experience that draws the audience into a hypnotic journey. The moniker « Multipolar » mirrors the complexity of their music, reflecting a myriad of influences that fuel weird compositions.

Lucid, a four-part semi-narrative piece guided by melancholic voices that recount a fragile socio-biographical journey. Through fractured field recordings, unsettling rhythms and echoes of the past, Lucid confronts the fear of forgetting and the uncertainty of memory. The piece evokes the unease of returning to a place that feels both familiar and distorted, where clarity dissolves into strangeness and remembrance collides with the inevitable process of loss.
