Initially self-taught, Lionel discovered the catalogue of Musique Concrète with Xavier Garcia. He composed in the CFMI of Lyon 2 University between 1989 and 2002, where he still organises workshops focused on the loudspeaker, recorded sound and Musique Concrète, both on practical and theoretical levels. He has built his own recording studio, and has also composed in the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in Paris since 1993. Marchetti performs improvisation using microphones and loudspeakers, as a duo with Jérôme Noetinger, and with the collective Le Cube (with Christophe Auger, Étienne Caire, Christophe Cardoen, Xavier Quérel, Jérôme Noetinger, Gaëlle Rouard) a group that performs live music while films are shown and worked on interactively. Lionel also writes poetry, and develops theoretical thoughts on Musique Concrète and the art of the loudspeaker.
Yôko has collaborated with Lionel Marchetti, Nicolas Ticot and Frédérick Galiay, and has performed with Keith Rowe, Thomas Korber, Seiji Murayama and Chewbacca (Andrew Daymond and Damien Grange). In 2003 she formed Yokohama Zen Rocks, an electric pop-rock trio, and more recently the duo Octobriana with violinist Agathe Max. hamaYôko is Higashi’s Musique Concrète-influenced electro-pop project.
