Winner of  Sound of the Year Award 2020 in the category Best Artificial Sound - A sound created or manipulated to sound like something it isn't.

V7 is a homemade metal spring instrument/sound-tool made from what i believe used to be some kind of measure meter. I played with a small bow, friction rubber clubs and metal slides. A natural reverb was made with some giant/very long springs attached to the measure meter box and then hanging freely on a high open metal staircase. This particular sound ended up sounding almost like some kind of friendly Dinosaur'ish creature breathing and mumbling small throat-sounds.

The V7 Sound Library will be out this spring !

On 17/03/2021 I was pushed out of my bed by those great rumbles of mother earth, another amazing paroxysm from Mount Etna. 
It was only 4 a.m. and through the dawn of a new day small birds started to wake up and sing adding some drama to the scene, dogs started barking frightened by the explosions, and a rooster or two made it clear that it was going to be a good morning. 

Hope you enjoy.

Rhythm & Sound Tribute Mix

Flatterers are found in Malebolge, one very unique area in Dante's Inferno: according to the poet, here are among the worst sinners, those who made very bad use of the human highest virtues. Flatterers' words were meant to provide benefits, prestige, but at the same time they were full of lies, without limits in the way they were told. So Dante condemns them to lie in excrement, moaning and slapping themselves with dirty hands. Not a painful, but a very humiliating punishment.
Dante describes flatterers with words he would never use again in the whole Commedia: he's vulgar, raw, rhythmic, unpleasant sounds, piercing.
So I tried to convey all of this in my piece, and the title is taken from the prostitute Taide's story: it seems she would have used that word - which means "very much!" - in a context where it was simply too much, so not being a moderate person (even if the story is not very clear, meaning that maybe it was not Taide who spoke that word).
My piece is made only with recordings (ambiences and foley) of mine and the way of processing them reflects my immersion in reading the Flatterers section and imagining what the soundtrack for the flatterer could be, when (s)he thinks at who (s)he was in life, what (s)he did, and what present is living in hell, what infinite future awaits.
I suggest to listeners to read (loud) the Flatterers section, in order to understand how Dante wrote about them, understand his deep feeling about them... and then simply close their eyes and immerse themselves in listening to the piece.

Flatterers

Installation artistique composée d’une sculpture originale d’Isabel Judez et une pièce sonore créée en collaboration avec Iga Vandenhove et Antonin Bexon.

Inspirée par la topographie des têtes de fleuves dans la région du Canaima, et afin de questionner son actuelle contamination issue de l’exploitation minière illégale.

Cette installation architecture une représentation abstraite et contrastante de ce paysage ancestral patrimonial. L’œuvre porte le visiteur dans une expérience qui confronte la dichotomie des environnements : nature et ville, analogue et digital, animal et humain.

Conçu par: Isabel Judez, Iga Vandenhove, Antonin Bexon. 2023

Pièce Sonore

AMB62 New Mexico: Falling Snow

Pièce sonore écrite, réalisée et montée par
Noémie Fargier, Iga Vandenhove, Vanessa Vudo

Exclusivement réalisée à partir d’enregistrements de terrain, Echap sonde notre porosité aux lieux et recompose une réalité fictive en forme de parcours initiatique. La pièce prend la température d’une époque ou d’un mode de vie, d’un rythme et de ses résistances, et cherche les interstices pour une possible évasion.

If a tree falls in space, but there's someone around to hear it scream, does it make a sound?
