Olivier Duverger Houpert is a multi-faceted musician. His powerful, poetic improvisations and interpretations reflect an ongoing reflection on energy and musical gesture, finding their way into the interstices between categories, zones of complexity and multiple entanglements. Olivier ventures into approaches to creativity where traditional dichotomies between creator and performer give way to ecosystems where multiple influences and agentivities intertwine. He is developing a style of playing that explores the physicality and affordances of his instrument.

 In 2021, he joined the Interprétation et Créations Musicales PhD program at the Collège Glarean in Strasbourg, where his scientific and artistic research will focus on the performer's perspective in collaborative works in motion or comprovisations.
