We enter the space as if inside a gigantic instrument, a sound belly, a resonance box on the scale of the place where the low and high frequencies vibrate.
The high point of sound experimentation once again poses its speakers at the Saint-Paul church and continues to draw the panorama of a plural and alternative musical creation. This fourth volume unfolds in three stages, with the exceptional presence of Ellen Fullman . The American composer, performer and instrument maker, collaborator of Pauline Oliveros and specialist in natural intonation installs her Long String Instrument in the nave of the church. An oversized instrument built in situ with vibrating strings over twenty meters long — for an incredible listening experience.
After Infinity Gradient and Drift Multiply in 2021, Tristan Perich is back in Strasbourg. He presents another facet of his practice, this time purely electronic, with Tone Patterns and Noise Patterns , two mirror projects that are based on the 1-BIT devices of which he has the secret. His performances are put into perspective with organ pieces by György Ligeti interpreted by Shin-Young Lee , including the famous Volumina .
The evening ends with La Tène in an expanded workforce: Alexis Degrenier, Cyril Bondi and Laurent Peter (aka d'incise) invite Guilhem Lacroux, Jérémie Sauvage, Louis Jacques and Jacques Puech. Hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, cabrette, Indian harmonium, guitar, bass, percussion… An immersion in the bumblebees of the Iron Age, an inundation by sound continuums — a folklore of the future past.
