Chants Sphériques

Description: Recording of Patrick Ascione's Chants Sphériques. This work exploits the mobility and successive metamorphoses of characteristic spatial figures. The sounds move according to various configurations specific to their meaning, but also inside these "frames of spaces" already in motion, or sometimes even outside these frames. Sound is therefore here to space, what color is to form for the painter. Original version is for 16 speakers.

Acéré

Description: Recording of Alain Basso's Acéré. The intention was to create a piece about war. Different object sounds were recorded in the studio, to have a wider palette of percussion sounds. The idea is that these percussions gradually change. As in the repetition of a 'kata', a movement sequence in martial arts, the concentration becomes more intense and the sounds increasingly sharp, by playing on the harmonics they contain. To give a feeling of space to this movement, transformed soundscapes create an … more

Courant statique

Description: Recording of Nicolas Verin Courant statique. The time of the work is devoted to an exploration of several paths linking two extremes of sound matter: balance, held almost immobile; and movement of volatile particles. Several other masses are added, creating a heaviness, an expectation, gradually generating tension, until the breaking point where they explode in a flash, in a shower of sparks, which will soon be extinguished. This piece was created using electronic technique.
