“For this 9th anniversary, La Muse en Circuit and the Sacem, in collaboration with Radio France, the Swiss Romansh Radio, the Deutschlandradio Kultur, the RTBF and the Archipel festival, propose Compose the Real. Re-establishing with complete freedom this inventive form of composition which allows the narration as much as the abstraction, the most minimalist gesture as much as the most luxuriant form. Without a doubt, the acoustic space of today is not more full of sound than that of yesterday. However, the main difference lies in the consummate art of wich people have for more than a century wanted to capture the trace. In parallel to this endlessly growing capacity, the everlasting drive to check what is behind the sound yields a new way of composing, built around this capture and increased by the power of technology. From concrete music to field recording, passing through radiophonic art, all these different ways are included in what is now commonly called “Hörspiel”, which remains the most identifiable musical object while at the same time the blurriest within its limits.” David Jisse
1. DinahBird & Caroline Bouissoun : “Topographies nocturnes”. “Topographies nocturnes” is a collaborationb between DinahBird, a radio artist and Caroline Bouissou, a multidisciplinary artist and performer. It is an adaptation of “Determination Aveugle” (Blind Determination”), a performance led by Caroline where a group of country walkers venture into dark night armed with disposable cameras. They do not know where they are going, do not talk and use only the flash of the cameras to light their path.”
2. Floy Krouchi : “Couvre-feux”. In this Hörspiel, Floy Krouchi has been working with sounds recorded in the theater of operations in the Middle East since 2001 by mixing texts, testimonials, and archivals documents. This framework uses three voices, Arab, French, and Hebrew and questions the idea of identity, borders, and territory in a context war. This piece tests the possibilities of “sound catharsis” of the real which is decomposed, transformed, sublimated.”
3. Sarah Boothroyd : “All In Time”. Inspired by Herbert George Wells’ 1895 novella, “The Time Machine”, Canadian audio artist Sarah Boothroyd takes the listener on a mind-bending voyage through science and science fiction.” label info
