Elements
Stereo, 2018
« Elements » is an acousmatic piece which explores sound morphing and the modification of sound perception. The work is constructed around 5 sound elements (water, wind, city, thunder, fire ). By placing these somewhat neutral elements in new contexts, one automatically changes their perceived meaning. This aspect of modifying the listener’s perception plays an important role in the piece. Through this, the listener is invited to explore the « ways » in which we listen to and experience everyday sounds. Speech elements in the work are used to suggest associations in the listener’s mind. Within the fluid structure of the piece, the listener is placed on the borderline between concrete and abstract.
Rêve eveillé
8 channel, 2018
« Rêve eveillé » is structured in many small parts within a compositional process considered analogous to the technique of pointillism in visual arts: The work starts with a variety of individual colors which, when mixed together, result in a
complex rich picture. The main goal of this is to open up the listening process. Here, one reaches one’s own interpretation of the piece through one’s imagination in various ways to combine abstracts content.
Using the concept of « Rêve éveillé » (awake dream), a therapeutic method invented by Robert Desoille in 1930, this piece should be perceived as a personal meditative journey into one’s own imagination.
