Deep Adaptation, ensemble & electronics

David Hudry's music draws its inspiration from the graphic arts, particularly in the works and reflections of painters such as P. Klee and W. Kandinsky, M. H. Vieira da Silva and Zao Wou-Ki.
If these influences are deeply rooted in him, his music is now going to an original path through the themes of the industrial world and abandoned places. This new source of visual and sonic inspiration gives to his music a new breath in which the pulsation, the rhythm and the timbre play an essential role. He draws all the material that gives vitality and a singular energy to his music from images of abandoned factories or uninhabited places, and from the industrial sounds of factories still active.

Laughing Tonalities is an electroacoustic (acousmatic) work that employs as its essential sound material the laughter from the recordings of three hundred invited participants – the recorded laughter is natural, authentic, it is not the laughter of comedians. The musical writing, based on very precise sound selection, manipulation and editing, brings into focus the timbres, the rhythms and the pitches of this material (Les Champions plays with vowels – "ha", "hee", "ho"... –, Les Orientales uses mostly melodic laughs, Les Inspirés focuses on "seal" laughter – or rooster, donkey, monkey... –, etc.). In addition, it takes into account a more evocative side which consists of recreating "plausible" scenes or portraits that highlight the different laughter types.
The reunion of short and contrasting pieces (fourteen so far) composes a gallery of portraits, a bouquet of scenes, a cantata.
