This piece receive a special mention during the "Bienal of Radio from Mexico" and has been broadcasted on more than 30 radio, web-radio and on the Radia Network.

RESUME:
Mexico City: more than 20 millions people gathered making noise!
A noisy city for most; I would like to transform it in a sonorous city.

The street sellers make the voices of the polyphonic choir, the small bell from the ice cream seller substitutes the triangle from the orchestra, and the hammering of the protesters on the metallic wall are the percussions.

In Mexico City, people shout to be heard, they shout their rage against the cops, they shout at the ‘lucha libre’ fights, they shout together ¡ Viva Mexico ! to feel united, and during a demonstration they also shout ¡Viva Mexico ! People shout in church, they pray together or alone, whispering in the silent night.

The thunder booms: nobody can shout at the storm, and the rain cleans the silent city.  A solo voice after the rain, and the choir resumes gradually. 

People sing to forget and the shouting starts again, louder, so that the others don´t forget.

The water flows under the city, the forgotten lake is mourning; it remembers when the city was an Island… On the top, it is too noisy, underneath, the water keeps in silence the secrets of the past.

INTENTION
Most of the people in the world live in cities. The daily soundscape is in most of the case a continuous sound of traffic, close or distant. Mexico City has a series of sounds added to the background which make the specificity of the city: the cries and sounds of the street sellers are in most part responsible.
In the past, most cities had their own cries (as some classical music can testify, like ‘Les cris de Paris’ from Janequin). In Mexico City, this tradition has persisted until today,  but the government and general opinion is not in favour of them: street sellers are each time further away from the touristic center, advertising campaigns are done to make them disappear from the subway, and police operations block their access to the streets.

I would like to pay tribute to these Criers through a soundscape of Mexico City, that will become a sonorous memory of a time that sooner than later will disappear.

Los gritos de Mexico

[video]: je vois, je saisi par la vue. 
Ce que je vois m'est transmis par un média qui code/transcrit le visible et l'audible en signal pour transmettre et restituer au plus juste le message de départ. 
Mais dans l'encodage et la retransmission survient l'erreur et l'interprétation. L'erreur est corrigée par supposition, par habitude. Mais si cette erreur était envisagée comme un nouveau signal, une création propre au média ? 
Aussi, envisageons que l’acte de regarder modifie et influe la nature même de l’objet : ce que je vois et entend est-il réellement identique au message d'origine? Est-ce l'authentique ? Et sinon: qu'est-ce ? Ce que je vois et entends n'est pas une évidence.

Symphony feat. Layna

Israeli duo Red Axes reveals the first installment of their new project 'Trips', a series of music and film inspired by the artists' travels around the world.

Niv Arzi and Dori Sadovnik's first excursion took them to Africa, where they collaborated with the seven-piece Ivorian band Yakomin and the students of Abidjan's Insaac Music School.

The three-track EP pairs with a behind-the-scenes film 'TRIPS #1'.

Red Axes' 'Trips #1: In Africa' EP will release via K7! on August 3.

Kiwi - Andromeda

I am a Franco-German born in 1975 in Geneva and I was introduced to art at an early age. I studied arts in Nîmes and then at the Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg, France where my teacher Jean-François Guiton introduced me to video art. Poetry and philosophy are also my main literary inspiration to enrich the visual subconscious that guide me.
	By exploring ambiguity through nuance, distortion or accident, I increase the dynamics between perception, interpretation and emotion. Using an often metaphorical poetic language, I amplify curiosity by blurring apparent meanings, thus producing unexpected mental images. Time and memory always play a key role. My protean work (sound, images, installation) is visible via short film festivals, galleries, concerts or shows.
