immerson is included in the BIAS – International Sound Art Biennal – June 4th & 5th 2015

The curator/artist France Jobin invited to create and play a new piece at Immerson event at the Oborro center. In the same evening Mika Vanio, Nicolas Bernier and John Duncan presented their piece. No visual. The sound system was designed by Stephane Claude, a famous sound ingeneer in Montreal. THE SYSTEM IS A 6.1 SURROUND IMMERSIVE INSTALLATION WITH SMALL STEREO SPEAKERS ADDED ON THE CEILING FOR “SHOWER” AUDIO EFFECTS. So, I created a new 20 minutes audio piece just for this event. 2 nights june 5 and 6th. II was not quite satisfied with my room on the first night. So I took another approach for the second night, and I must say I am quite happy with this new approach.

For Inkubator.02 performance, I took some electronic devices from the one I presented at ElectroShock in last april. But I work in a more fluidity way between all electronic laboratories. For this special Mutek Play2 evening the thema was about obsolete devices. So I took with me Metal plates, Motors, Old Television, sensors, Electricity Modules and I improvised by group of devices. Feedback, Electricity freezing, Cathodic Lights.
