I DON’T WANT TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL ALL ON MY OWN

17th February.

Nicole Beutler Projects presents a livestream of Genevieve Murphy.

From an early age, composer and performer Genevieve Murphy developed a fascination for psychology and how people create emotional bonds. Through her carefully composed works she brings to our awareness how we behave and respond. I Don’t Want To Be An Individual All On My Own is a search for real connection in an individualized world. Balancing between fear and curiosity for the unknown, Genevieve investigates the power of empathy by reflecting on an ordinary birthday party from her youth. Telling the story through a sonic narrative of pop, spoken word and sound sculptures, she invites you to listen to the soundscape of her mind.

Genevieve Murphy (Scotland, 1988) studied music and composition at the conservatories of Glasgow, Birmingham and The Hague. She lives and works in Amsterdam. As an artist, she combines performance and visual art with contemporary classical music. Murphy is fascinated by psychology and disability. Her work explores ways to communicate sensations that can feel intangible and incomprehensible. After Something In This Universe (2018), this is Murphy’s second production with Nicole Beutler Projects.
