EOTONE / MONTREAL

May 28th, 2014

After 2 years working with David letellier, we finally present our project Eotone at Elektra-Mutek EM15_ Biennale internationale art numérique Musée Art Contemporain de Montréal.

WITH EOTONE, KOLGEN AND LETELLIER REFLECT ON DISTANCE AND WEATHER, BY STAGING SOMETHING INTANGIBLE YET POWERFUL: THE WIND. FOUR SOUND AND SCULPTURAL DIFFUSERS, CONTAINING ELEMENTS OF BOTH THE WEATHER VANE AND THE FOG HORN, MAKE UP THIS MONUMENTAL INSTALLATION THAT RENDERS IN MOVEMENT AND SOUND THE DIRECTION AND FORCE OF THE WIND BLOWING SIMULTANEOUSLY ON TWO CONTINENTS: IN MONTREAL AND QUEBEC CITY ON ONE SIDE OF THE ATLANTIC, IN RENNES AND NANTES ON THE OTHER. THE WIND DATA RECORDED IN EACH CITY IS TRANSMITTED LIVE TO THE DIFFUSERS, CONTROLLING THE ORIENTATION OF EACH OF THE STRUCTURES AND ORCHESTRATING THE COMBINED CHORDS THAT MAKE UP THE HARMONIC WHOLE PERCEIVED AT THE HEART OF THE INSTALLATION. BY TRANSFORMING WEATHER DATA INTO SOUND, EOTONE OFFERS A SUBTLE ARTISTIC VISION OF THE INTERNET OF OBJECTS.

LONDON //// MAY 18

May 22nd, 2014

Carmen and Estella from Alpha_Ville invite me at the great KING PLACES THEATER to perform DUST and INJECT. After the performances, I have a pleasure to have a talk with the audience. London is so a beautiful city. This time, I don’t know why, but I felt in love with this city, probably because, beside my own excursions, Carmen make me discover some districts I never went before. You will find beautiful pictures I take from an photography exhibition. What I like is the window reflections on the close-up faces. I don’t remember the name of this photographer, but if I find it, I will update the blog. There is some pictures that Justina Suminaite made of me for the magazine Rooms.

Different Trains @Laboral/Spain

May 7th, 2014

Beside Train Fragments who is played with a percussion group and the music score was created by me, I still present Different Trains who the music score is from Steve Reich. Different Trains is played with a string Quartet.

Con Different Trains, Herman Kolgen nos presenta una versión AV inspirada en una pieza sonora de Steve Reich. Different Trains fue compuesta en 1988 para un cuarteto de cuerda con cassettes magnéticas. En L.E.V. 2014, un cuarteto de cuerda interpretará junto a Herman Kolgen una perfecta simbiosis de sonido e imagen.
