Fragility´s Dementia Damian Gorandi

recreacion de las soledades. completo.

La obra  está atravesada por la idea de que los objetos ocultan detrás de sí, otro significado, asi pues, un sonido enmascara, como un albur, a un ´´ otro sonido´´ reprimido. Quizás un ¨meta -sonido¨  poseedor de una intensa carga estética donde la <<percepción  superficial Gestalt ligada >> se desplaza de forma más o menos abrupta hacia  una << percepción profunda de la Gestalt libre>>. Deambulando así  por inestables Continentes de vigilia permeables a lo  inesperado y dionisiaco, donde  el inconsciente se expresa de forma contundente, Como sucede en los chistes y entresueños.
( ¨... Basta con que una percepción se retirase de la conciencia superficial para que la mente inconsciente la aprovechara para su expresión irracional propia.¨)
                                                                                                                                    ( Anton Ehrenweing )

La obra pone en manifiesto el periplo de una maquina incógnita concebida como un multi-objeto. Lo curioso es que el viaje de esta maquina sucede atraves de diferentes capas pertenecientes a una estratigrafía imaginaria, es decir que va perforando y explorando los recovecos ocultos de la imaginación. La maquina funciona como un leitmotiv que articula las distintas secciones . La estructura de la obra esta sujeta al periplo anteriormente mencionado. Desde el comienzo hasta el minuto 5  ́ 25  ́ ́ se transita por cuatro estratos, y es a partir de aquí , que emerge el quinto y ultimo estadio, como un ensueño al que se le reserva la mayor profundidad en el espacio interno de toda la obra, en analogía a la zona de mayor profundidad de nuestra imaginación. Luego de esta sección, un rallentando anuncia el retorno a la realidad. El motor de la maquina se detiene en el final de la obra.

La machinerie d'un imaginaire

El Prisionero De La Luz

“Silence resonates across the night.
Thirst bursts in the presence of the invisible .
A thirst to name the abyss. Eternity has been revealed”

Le vertige d'eros

work for 8 channel.

The conception of this work is based on capturing the moment before of a catastrophe. Develop that instant, expand it into a fiction of multiple temporal and spatial folds. Sounds of explosions, crowds, whispers, alarms and machines are organized in a narrative as violent as dreamlike. A voice, sometimes human and sometimes robotic, emits numbers. At first, the numbers do not seem to be incisive, but little by little they introduce their semantic value that resignifies listening. The poetics, the gesture and the games of reliefs in perspective (profundity of the internal space )are fundamental concepts in my work.

La concepción de esta obra se basa en capturar el instante anterior a una catástrofe.  Desarrollar ese instante, expandirlo en una ficción de múltiples pliegues temporales y espaciales. Sonidos de explosiones, multitudes, susurros, alarmas y máquinas se organizan en una narrativa tan violenta como ensoñada. Una voz, a veces humana y otras veces robótica, emite números, al principio, los números no parecen ser incisivos, pero poco a poco introducen su valor semántico que  resignfican  la escucha.  La poética , el gesto y  el espacio interno como perspectiva  en profundidad (relieve) son conceptos fundamentales en mi  trabajo.

Review-Geneviève Charras

"Dark Virtue"nouvelle pièce (création mondiale) fait le ménage sur le plateau: on change d'instruments, on se prépare à l'émotion de la nouveauté, sans filet !
Lente respiration de tous en prologue, introduction entrecoupée de sons du quotidien, manipulés, transformés, transposés en mutation. L'accordéon en éventail, étiré à souhait: l'atmosphère est froide, métallique, distante. Des sons d'usine, de réverbération de grands espaces de friches industrielles abandonnées...Intrigante composition.Suspens...Les sons  s'y répètent, en va et vient conducteurs, glissements, dérapages contrôlés, inclinaisons vertigineuses des sonorités. Le cymbalum inquiète, très présent, menaçant; les autres instruments bruissent à l'unisson, miaulent, sirènes obsédantes, horloge soudaine pour rapatrier l'attention !
Le vrombissement des vents, du tuba, enfourché avec symbiose par Yui Sagagoshi, frêle et fragile créature diaphane mais très solide pour autant, inquiète.Eclats et renforts sonores pour un tohu-bohu savant, pétarade, sifflets de machinerie infernale de science fiction !
Des assauts violents, virulents d'une marée, bourrasque déferlante, taquinent l'ambiance: une accalmie se profile, riche de timbres explorant les vibrations des instruments.
