"There is no consensus on its ultimate origin or age of the origin of language. However it is possible that speech has developed from something, which had no other purpose than that of exercising the muscles of the mouth and throat and amusing oneself and others by production or possibly only strange sounds."

This collaboration with Clemence Seilles was curated by Rebecca Lamarche Vadel at Palais de Tokyo, Paris - 27.02 - 04.04.2013. 

The project involved a soundscape creation of wind as an archeological artifact, found in a late future. 

The idea was to make wind acoustically tactile through a low frequency range and melodic pitch-shifts of recorded gas. 

The track was pressed on a 12'' vinyl and played in loop.

Clémence Seilles - La Chute @ Palais de Tokyo, Paris

FRI Art, Fribourg 
09.02 — 12.05.13. 

"A twenty minute journey, combining graphical work on a digital medium with an endless landscape, filmed on a two week trip through the fjords of Norway. The score explores space and time and creates a hypnotic-like state when seen in combination."

Claudia Comte - X,Y,Z @ FRI ART, Fribourg

Assisting a conduction and live mixing an ensemble of invited students playing 14 instruments in a systematic arrangement. Here's the text about the exhibition:

"Welcome to the world of Clémence Seilles. Her exhibition at the Parc Saint Léger La vie est un songe (Life is a Dream) is a fable, a fictional space where several temporalities and stories overlap and collide. Based on a science fiction scenario made available to visitors through an audio guide, La vie est un songe is a dive into an absurd and chaotic time, between present, future and post-future. First of all, the visitor enters a museum exhibition of musical instruments: vestiges from another age, which is none other than our present. These instruments are devised and built by amateurs, based on materials from our post-industrial era, but their “hand-made” finish and their limited technical capacities (these instruments only produce mono-sounds) more or less consciously reproduce the formal codes of primitivism. This first part provides speculation about what the future will recognise as significant for our present but also as scenographic codes operating to stage this very present. It is as though the instruments are switched off, out of use, fetishized, but they are nonetheless reactivated at several times during the exhibition, namely during the opening, in which composer Egon Elliut breathes life back into these instruments (as the conductor of a synthetic orchestra for an amateur company formed for the occasion). This reactivation through play provides the exhibition with its first line of sight: play diverts us from the sacred, it suggests new uses that fetishisation had made impossible. Play is the child’s site of predilection: children endlessly reinvent new potential uses based on existing ones."

An 808 kick and a reverse clap.

"The grail myth provides the narrative backbone for Seymour’s 48-minute video Thank God Hip Hop, Pop Art And (Your) Desire Are Back, filmed on the S-Bahn and featured on the first floor of his exhibition. A decontextualized, slowed-down hip hop beat thuds loudly, setting a sombre tone that starkly contrasts with the performers’ colourful attire—it’s a marriage of art and fashion, as the performers’ outfits wouldn’t be out of place in an American Apparel advertisement.

"This live audio-visual performance is a collaboration project together with Claudia Comte. An audio-visual search based on the possibilities and limitations of the grid using primitive geometric shapes, regarding their deployment in space and time. With rigor and simplicity, the video and electronic soundtrack are closely connected and create a tactile tension."

Exhibition soundtrack for Natacha Mankowski's - Zoo Experiment.
Presenting some of her latest works focusing on man-made "natural environments", the beauty of the forced, natural perfection.

What better way to calm us down with some oriental meditation music - played only on the "black keys" - it's what you do if you want to sound asian.

I also read that zoo-animals are supposed to be more active during the morning hours - an important point for organizing visits - which gave the track it's title: Sunrise.

Sit back, relax and enjoy some extreme Zen water flows.
