New show « Unspoken » and album out on Feb. 13th 2026. « Indeniably an improviser who reinvents harp playing » – Jazz Magazine
« For most of history, Anonymous was a woman ». This sentence by Virginia Woolf is the starting point for Julie Campiche’s new solo project.
With her harp, electronic effects and voice, Julie pays tribute to women and feminine strength. Each composition tells the story of a woman, past or present, from here or elsewhere, famous or anonymous. Responding to an intense need for sisterhood, she carries these voices that have been silenced, minimized, anonymized, and yet so powerful.
For this show, Julie Campiche associates with stage designer Sophie Le Meillour to enrich the experience with scenography and video mapping.
Julie Campiche’s work is an ongoing process of innovation. Through research and experimentation she has developed the use of electronic effects that enhance the scope of her improvisational work. She has a personal style and a musical language of her own. The moving force behind her work is a profound desire to discover the infinite universal that lies within, to develop self-forgetfulness, and to create open spaces where dreams come true, where it is enough to simply believe that we can fly in order to be there.

The Guardian **** (John Fordham) / Jazz album of the month
« You might call her soundscape magical or otherworldly if it didn’t coexist with a campaigner’s political urgency on environmental and social issues. But Campiche is too much of a visionary to overwhelm the eloquence of pure sound with polemic, as her new album, the unaccompanied Unspoken, confirms more than ever (…) Unspoken is the least jazzy of the remarkable Campiche’s ventures so far, but if she didn’t inhabit a world of improvisers, she could never have imagined it like this. »
The Cambridge Critique
« This is the music of the future performed here and now. »
The Jazz Man
« To be honest, I was so absorbed in the music by this point that I’d stop taking notes, happy to immerse myself in the richness of the quartet’s sound and the multiple twists ands turns of the writing. »
