Born in Kenitra (Marocco), Mourey studied musicology at the Sorbonne under Edith Weber[1] and passed the agrégation. First a classical guitarist and student of Uruguayan guitarist Oscar Cacères,[2] she is also a pianist.
For her research, she starts from works on the atonal music of her teacher Julien Falk[4] to develop a new musical system called "hypertonality". This is based on spiral scales (in amplitudes higher than the octave), radically transforming atonal counterpoint techniques. This allows the reintroduction of "natural consonances" within a contemporary language, which contributes to bringing contemporary music closer to the "general public".[5]
She is the author of numerous books on musicology and teaching.
As a composer, she is the author of more than 1000 works (published at the éditions Bergmann,[6] Reift Marcophon,[7] Soldano,[8] Delatour,[9] and Profs editions.[10][11] In 2012, she won the First Prize of the International Competition for Instrumentalists and Composers "Music and Earth" in Sofia (Bulgaria).[12] From 2012 to 2014, she has been awarded by the IBLA Foundation for her works Estudios Festivos; Homenaje a Manuel Ponce (guitar) in 2012,[13]Variations In Memoriam (guitar) in 2013,[14] and Bucoliques (harpsichord) in 2014[15]
