A P I C A L E {Solo} - Trailer - GINSBURGH/GUIRAUD








The garden scatters burnt-up beetles
 
Like brazen ash, from braziers burst. 

I witness, by my lighted candle,
 
A newly blossomed universe.

And like a not yet known religion
 
I enter this unheard of night,
 
In which the shabbily-grey poplar
 
Has curtained off the lunar light.

The pond is a presented secret.
 
Oh, whispers of the appletree!
 
The garden hangs-a pile construction,
 
And holds the sky in front of me.

The performance systems using transducers and objects devices to extend and amplify resonances of acoustic instruments.

Qualities of pulsation, sonic-sources (keys, tapes, feedback), written-score (as trigger), live connective tissue within the body of instruments, a malleable kinetics perception of the sonic-matter.
«this piece is a mean of digging into these visceral aspects of sound that have a permeating intensity in live performance » (Sabrina Schroeder)
{It must be more seen as unique organic body, organic patterns and threaded calque’s phenomena.
Therefore the voices (hammers and things around) are into a cascade-layers form, there is a stream of fibers.
Merged-in-tension on time, this terrain of fibrillation and surface tensions, fragilities, patterns of spectral results, attributes magnified and/or reoriented by the various body.}


{ No usual loudspeakers }
