Catherine Elsen is a Luxembourgish performance, voice and electronic sound artist who explores historical data to sonify the silent presence of women in the steel industry. From that focus emerged her experimental and electronic composition “Silencieuse moi” where breath and voice samples overlap the data-driven beat to convey the invisible contribution of women fighting their way into the world of labour.

During “The Sound of Data - Science meets Music" project, 11 musicians transformed scientific data into music, in an artist residency under the supervision of Valery Vermeulen. The result of this process was performed live @Rockhal, on Saturday 3 December 2022, featuring the headliner, Max Cooper.

The Sound of data is a collaborative project between the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR), the University of Luxembourg, the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST), the Centre de Musiques Amplifiées – Rockhal and Rocklab, in the framework of Esch2022.

About historical data:

Researchers from the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (University of Luxembourg) created a vast database of digitised daily newspapers extending roughly from 1850 to 1950, which can be mined for specific terms related to Luxembourg’s industrial past. The data was provided by Stefan Krebs and Lars Wieneke.
