Lionel Marchetti extensively performed as an improviser using microphones, loudspeakers and electronics, especially with fellow composer Jérôme Noetinger, who also published his first book.

As an author, Marchetti advocated Pierre Schaeffer's "Musique concrète" and the so-called "art of the loudspeaker" through essays mostly regarding Michel Chion musical aesthetics.

More recently, Marchetti exhibited visual and sound installations at various international venues.
