Laurence Moletta is a French composer, singer, and multimedia artist, born in 1979 in Roanne. Her artistic journey is marked by a constant exploration of the boundaries between music, technology, and visual arts.

She began her training in 2007, obtaining a Diploma of Musical Studies in Electroacoustic Composition at the National School of Music in Villeurbanne, where she developed an early interest in new forms of sound expression. She then specialized in Acousmatic Composition and Applied Music for Image at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Mons, Belgium, before continuing her studies with professional training at the Center for Digital Contemporary Writings in Mons.

From then on, Laurence Moletta engaged in innovative research and development, particularly in gesture capture and interactive devices. Her Art-Science residency with the "numédiart" research program at the Polytechnic Faculty of Mons allowed her to explore the fusion between improvised voice and interactive technologies, paving the way for a series of bold creations.

​

Between 2010 and 2013, she collaborated with programmer Alexis Boilley and Interface Z for the electronic component to design motion sensor gloves, leading to several innovative prototypes. This period marked the beginning of a prolific career as an artistic director, composer, and performer, with works such as "Le Couloir des Pas Perdus", a small-scale digital opera successfully presented in various Belgian theaters. Laurence Moletta performed solo on stage, accompanied by a video creation by Stéphane Broc within an immersive screen setup. She took the audience on an emotional journey through twelve poignant and sometimes moving stories about birth. These narratives, collected through encounters, were integrated into a unique musical universe, where her voice was enhanced by her motion-sensing gloves. The piece was performed at the Festival Voix de Femmes in Liège, as well as during Peruwelz Ville de Mots, at the Francophonie Forum at Cité Miroir in Liège, at La Maison de l’Arbre in Montreuil, and at La Fabrique de Théâtre in Frameries.

​

In 2016, Laurence Moletta took a new step by recording her first solo album, Noza Orus, where her improvised voice interacted with motion-sensing gloves, creating an immersive and innovative musical experience. Her exploration of real-time musical improvisation continued with the creation of the Noza Orus duo, where music and video intertwined in a captivating performance. In collaboration with Véronique Binst, who manipulated a multitude of real-time images, the show was performed at the Ars Musica contemporary music festival and in more intimate spaces, such as a yurt and projected onto the walls of a mountain hamlet in Italy.

​

Over the years, Laurence Moletta expanded her scope by participating in radio projects and creating immersive geolocated sound journeys, exploring new forms of sonic and visual storytelling. Her work led her to collaborate with prestigious institutions such as the Comédie Française and the Comédie de Saint-Étienne. She notably created three geolocated sound trails: "Traces" in Thizy-les-Bourgs, "De visages en rivages" in Huriel, and an augmented reality project called "De fil en aiguille" in Cours-la-Ville. Laurence is involved in every stage of the creation process for these trails, from interviews to sound composition, editing, and mixing. These trails can be accessed via mobile phones using the Izi.Travel app, and De fil en aiguille is also available on VR headsets at the Micro-Folies of the Ouest Rhodanien urban community.

​

In 2020, Laurence Moletta joined forces with Compagnie Dynamo to compose the music for "Autre" by Virginie Barjonet, a production blending dance and theater, in which she also performs as a singer. This show is currently on tour.

Additionally, she contributes as a sound director to the artistic and cultural education projects of Compagnie La Bande Passante, notably for the creation of the sound trail "Il était une fois dans l'Est", located in the Coeur du Pays Haut in Lorraine (Fr).

​

More recently, her interest in virtual reality led her to participate in the European Creator Lab, where she learned to design and develop innovative multiplayer immersive experiences in collaboration with other creators. Her project La Symphonie des Profondeurs, created in collaboration with Cinzia Fossati, is an interactive multiplayer virtual reality experience that invites participants to explore the underwater world through the senses of a whale, using echolocation.

Laurence regularly takes part in collective creation labs under domes as a composer and singer, including the Fulldome Lab (2022) and the Immersive Labs (2023) at the Vaulx-en-Velin Planetarium, organized by AADN. She is also training in sound spatialization under the dome of the Society for Arts and Technology in Montreal in 2025.
