Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"Jacques creates unique sound-making contraptions, devices, and idiosyncratic systems from small motors and other discarded parts and found objects, and she utilizes contact mics and tiny amplification set-ups to produce really fascinating textures and unexpected rhythms. Jacques' creations are used in performances, installations, recordings, and soundtracks for animation films. In addition to her sound work, Jacques also ran Crustacés Tapes, a sound art distribution project where people could send postcards or gifts in exchange for the different cassettes that were available. More recently, she has moved on to starting Presses Précaires, a DIY label focused on releasing "obscure and luminous sounds on magnetic tape."-FFFoxy Podcast
