SOUND INSTALLATIONS
The old bike
[ François Arbon sound machine]
From the finesse of our calves or the strength of our cooks, this bike turns into a sound-making device: a music box that can only begin to sing thanks to the energy it is supplied with. It's up to you.

Cannons on split screen (after)
[Speech video by Sébastien Roux]
Originally created by composer Sébastien Roux, this video takes its origin in the so-called Vuza cannons. Transcribed in a sound research for percussion and filmed by multiplication of a fixed plane on the hands of the percussionist, these cannons involve a fascinating and hypnotizing sound phenomenon.

The sound of things
[Jeranium sound machines – Cie Lost objects]
These hand cranked sound machines, based on the diversion of objects and the modeling of sound materials, have a purpose in life: tickle the visitor's curiosity so that she takes him, by activating the crank, towards a playful observation of the sounds and forms of everyday life.

CONCERT
[concert in tribute to Alvin Lucier]
When sound works
Recognized for his compositions based on devices generally used in scientific research, Alvin Lucier (1931-2021) strongly marked contemporary creation. Based on principles of acoustic physics and psychoacoustics, his research explores the natural properties of sound in relation to space, propagation and interference phenomena. Each of his plays is a sensory experience of sound for both the interpreter and the listener.
With Severine Balloon (cello), Joris Rühl (clarinette) and Lê Quan Ninh (triangle)
To the programme:
In Memoriam John Higgins (1984)
Music For Cello With One Gold More Amplified Vases (1993)
