Beatrice Dillon and GBSR Duo Reach (2026)
Computer, piano, percussion, 45'
'Reach is a collaborative exploration of the malleability and psychology of sonic texture: a trio combining GBSR Duo’s acoustic instruments and Dillon’s digital synthesis through Kings Place’s d&b Soundscape system. Expressive acoustic gesture intertwines with responsive digital processes. The grand piano’s fixed harmonic architecture is set against delicate metallic and percussive elements, while synthetic models resonate across both physical and virtual spaces. The music moves fluidly between the grounded immediacy of instrumental sound and its transformed extensions, unfolding into evolving, inharmonic textures that blur the distinctions between acoustic and synthetic, the fixed and the motile.'
Commissioned by Kings Place for GBSR Duo Artist in Residence 2026

PAST



Beatrice Dillon Basho(Portraits GRM, 2025)

'Originally commissioned for the Acousmonium sound-diffusion system at Groupe de Recherches Musicales, Paris. The title of the work is taken from the notion of ‘basho’, developed by Japanese philosopher Nishida Kitarō. Nishida's ‘basho’ 場所 refers to a fundamental place or field where things exist and interact. Not just a physical location, but a more abstract space where all experiences, thoughts, and phenomena are interconnected. In Nishida's philosophy, basho is a dynamic, living ground where subject and object, self and world, are not separate but mutually interrelated. Inspired by this, Dillon develops a music of a complex nature, that never ceases to constitute itself as pure presentation, constantly re-exposed, reactivating at every moment both the object of attention and the listener who aims at it. Borrowing both its sounds (which have no real origin or internal space) and its idioms from electronic music, Dillon’s Basho is a diversion, a rearrangement that places us, through elements that are familiar but suddenly alien, back into a field of pure listening.' - Ina GRM

PERFORMANCE SOUNDTRACKHelen Marten 30 Blizzards Art Basel, Paris(October 22–26 2025)

'Marten’s first performance, 30 Blizzards, is physically structured around a new counterpoint between five sculptures and five newly conceived videos, each of which obliquely reference chronological stages of life. In a choreographed performance conceived in close collaboration with theater and opera director Fabio Cherstich, and composer Beatrice Dillon, the figures within the space do not play characters in the conventional sense, but rather embody structures, functions or trajectories. Each is named and themed from diverse points of influence: weather systems, animals, archetypal characters, or others termed with pure gesture or feeling, expressive of lyrical or social intent. Presented by MiuMiu, Art Basel Paris.'

Beatrice Dillon Seven Reorganisations performed by Explore Ensemble(HI, 2024)
Ensemble, '25
'Seven Reorganisations presents Beatrice Dillon's first entirely acoustic work. Commissioned by Mark Fell for No Bounds Festival at Sheffield Cathedral 2022, the project saw Dillon work with the musicians in translating her vocabulary of digital synthetic sounds and generative systems into the acoustic realm of the sextet. The result is a piece of 3 parts. Parts 1 and 2 present a teeming microcosm of fast though fleeting fragments knotted into shifting units. By contrast, part 3 offers a slower flattened horizontal plane in which each musician cycles through intimate timbres or gentle reverberant swells. Translation lies at the core of the project, where Dillon’s synthetic compositions were a starting point, followed by a collaborative unfolding of possibilities before a gradual reduction, concentration, and carving away of materials into the resulting sculptural forms.'

'Jorinde Voigt’s third solo exhibition with Lisson reveals the artist’s cross-disciplinary and multidimensional approaches to large-format drawing, culminating in a live performance produced in collaboration with musician Beatrice Dillon. From her organisational systems of scores, notations, chapters and verses to the time signatures, impulse points, algorithms and arithmetic inscriptions embedded in her drawings, Voigt creates a synaesthetic world through these interrelated compositions.'
