Respiro_A vida é uma Utopia :: Breath_Life is an Utopia

Frozen Time LIVE MANCHA

Promenade é uma instalação sonora site specific que propõe uma ocupação do espaço público através da música. Habitantes da rua Gustave Goublier receberam do artista discos e mp3 players contendo uma faixa de áudio. Cada habitante recebeu uma faixa diferente, um grupo de camadas complementares de uma única composição musical. Foram 12 apartamentos no total. Em um determinado horário e data, os mesmos tocaram seus áudios de suas janelas dispondo suas caixas de som para rua. Uma alteração da paisagem sonora da rua, assim como uma redescoberta do espaço público através de um gesto artístico.

Realizamos a intervenção na rua Gustave Goublier no bairro 10ème, próximo a estação Gare de L’Est. Região central de Paris, concentra uma grande concentração de turistas e pessoas em geral. A rua, em específico, data do séc XVII, antes da transformação proposta pelo urbanista Haussmann.

Promenade is a site specific sound installation that proposes a public space musical occupation. Each one of 12 inhabitants of Gustave Goublier street received a recording of a different lay of one musical composition. They played the track in the same day, at the same time, with their own sound system pointed toward the street. The alteration of the street’s soundscape allowed the rediscovering of public space.

Public Space Sound Installation :: Promenade 15 MIN St. Version

Synopsis

‘Le monde est une catastrophe rythmique' 
Valère Novarina

The surround sound piece entitle Silence results from my last research in sound realized during this journey through Japan. 

This composition is based in my impressions and sensation related to emptiness and the space between buildings and structures that I could perceive in Japanese Temples and Shrines. These field recordings were made in the city of Nikko, Nagano Prefecture (Nagano, Togakushi, and Matsumoto), Kyoto, Nara and Koyasan. All those places are famous to host important temples and shrines, and for that reason they composed the first part of my trip in Japan.

This piece will be performed live, with realtime composition, spatialization and mixing of the audio samples recorded. 


シノプス

―― 世界はリズミックな惨状だ
（ヴァレール・ナヴァリア)

《Silence》と名づけた作品は、日本各地を旅して行なった、音に関する最近のリサーチ成果を受けたものです。

この作品は、私が日本の神社仏閣で感じ取った虚無や、広く取られた建物の空間配置に基づいています。この観察とフィールド・レコーディングは日光、長野県（長野、戸隠、松本）、京都、奈良、高野山で行ないました。これらの場所は、重要な寺社があることで知られていますが、そのために私は日本での旅のはじめに訪れることにしました。


Concept

The relation of silence and Japanese culture is very complex, and therefore led me to three different kind of possible approaches. 

The first one is the relation with space, sound, silence and the divine, expressed by the piece Silence. I was really impressed by the dimensions of the temples and Shrines, and specially by its space organization, designed with emptiness and long distances. The way the priests uses the sound and its propagation through the huge halls and the empty spaces between the buildings has a strict relation to this holy sensation provided by these wondrous architectural structures. 

The second approach was conceived when I was in France, applying for this residency program. At that time, I was thinking and trying to create some artistic connection to the sensation of silence in culture. This inspiration led me to the noisiest places in Japan, the Pachinko parlors. 
I had a hypothesis that the Pachinko is a result of the difficulty that Japanese people have to express their emotions and feelings in a public context. And the loneliness that we can find in a huge city like Tokyo, I thought would be even bigger.

The last one is based in my impressions of the impact of Fukushima nuclear accident in Japanese society, and how it creates a kind of silence around the subject. I feel that there is a national concern about the human problems that were caused by this incident, specially to those that lived in the area. And when I am referring to this point, I am aiming at local farmers and fishermen who had their trust and image totally destroyed by the fear of nuclear contamination. 


コンセプト

Silence（静寂、沈黙、無言）と日本文化の関係は非常に複雑であるため、3種類のアプローチが可能なのではないかと私は考えました。

ひとつ目のアプローチは空間、音、静寂と神聖なものとの結びつきで、《Silence》で表現しました。私はお寺や神社の規模、特にその空間構成に非常に感銘を受けました。そこでは、十分に空間と距離をとって建物が配置されています。僧侶の音の使い方や、その音が大きなお堂の中で広がっていく様子、建物と建物の間でとられた空間は、この素晴らしい建築構造によって生み出される神聖な感覚と分かちがたく結びついています。

ふたつ目のアプローチは、この（TWSの）レジデンス・プログラムに応募しようとしたときに着想を得ました。当時私はフランスにいたのですが、文化における静けさの感覚を創作につなげようと試みていたところ、日本で一番騒がしい場所、パチンコ店が思い浮かびました。パチンコは、日本人が自分の気持ちや感情を人前で表すのが苦手であることの結果なのではないかと思ったからです。そして東京のような大都市でみられる孤独は、より強いのではないかと考えました。

最後のものは、日本の社会に対して福島の原発事故が与えた衝撃と、その話題についてのある種の沈黙がどのように作られていったのかに対しての私の印象に基づいています。この事故が引き起こした人々への問題について、特にその地域に住んでいた人々に対して、国民的な関心が強いように思います。私は放射性物質による汚染の恐怖によって、信頼やイメージがずたずたにされた地元の農家や漁師に関心を持ちました。

I started this research in my masters in 2013 and deepened it during my residency program at Tokyo Wonder Site / Tokyo Japan in 2014. In 2015 I started researching new aspects of the relation of silence, the Japanese concept of 間 "Ma" and space by creating a new performance, Study for silence. In 2016, during the residency program at Villa Waldberta / Munich Germany, I continued the research considering the discussion of time and chance in Cage's compositions leading me to this new piece, 間 "Ma" :: Silence no 02 

In Ma 間 :: Silence no 02 I deal with the notion of frailty and chance within the idea of time impermanence.

What is in a constant becoming, in a transitory process, in a continuous and infinite transformation and transmutation:  間. And what surrounds us and that we do not control.

The frailty of the sensation and the richness of chance, doubt, the unexpected. Time and space in constant evolution/transition, just like the sounding of a bell - that last until the next hit - and the fluidity of a river - that even if it always sounds the like a river, it is never the same.

Iniciei esta pesquisa no meu mestrado em 2013 e aprofundei-a durante o programa de Residência Artística Tokyo Wonder Site / Tóquio Japão em 2014. Em 2015 comecei a investigar diferentes e novos aspectos sobre a relação de silêncio, o conceito Japonês de 間 "Ma" e espaço criando uma nova performance, Estudo para o Silêncio. Em 2016, durante o programa de residência artística na Villa Waldberta / Munique Alemanha, continuei a pesquisa considerando as discussões sobre tempo e casualidade na composição cageana, culminando na criação desta nova peça, 間 "Ma" :: Silêncio no 02.

Em Ma 間 :: Silêncio no 02. lido com a noção de efemeridade e casualidade dentro da idéia de impermanência do tempo.

O que está em constante devir, em processo transitório, em situação contínua e infinita de transformação e transmutação: 間. E o que nos entorna e que não controlamos.

A efemeridade da sensação e a riqueza da casualidade, da dúvida, do inesperado. Tempo e espaço em constante evolução/transição, tal qual o ressoar de um sino - que dura até a próxima batida - e fluidez sonora de um rio - que apesar de sempre soar como um rio, nunca é o mesmo.
