TAICHUNG ! TAIWAN !

November 4th, 2009

I am in the technical preparation for my Asia Tour. I will leave thursday at 3am. ouf !  _  I am very excited about presenting INJECT in Asia _ After the warm reception I received in South America, I’m very curious about the Asian audience.

By the Way _ !  The National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts ask to me to prepare une version censurée de INJECT _ because it will be presented outside of the museum. So I tried to replace some explicit scenes. _ I will try keeping the spirit of the performance.

Bain+Kolgen Improvisations

July 28th, 2009

One year ago, Magali and me had the idea to improvise on my drum. But not in a usual way. We decide BROKEN DOWN the drum TO ITS PHYSICAL ELEMENTS AND RAW MATERIALS. We decide to make 3 improvisations of 20 minutes for 3 days ::: Flesh, Wood and Metal was born. CONTACT MICROPHONES IN HAND – SET OUT TO EXPLORE EACH OF THE DRUM’S MATERIALS. ELEMENT BY ELEMENT, THEY EXPLORE THE SOUNDS A DRUM CAN MAKE WHEN IT’S CONVENTIONAL UTILITY IS SUBVERTED. IT IS NOT WHAT A DRUM CAN DO THAT THEY FOCUS ON, BUT WHAT A DRUM IS WHEN IT IS UNDONE. BROKEN DOWN, A DRUM IS THE COLD STEEL OF RIMS, BOLTS, CHAINS, PEDALS, BRUSHES, CYMBALS AND BELLS; IT’S THE WOOD OF SHELL AND STICK; IT’S THE SKIN OF THE DRUM AND THE BODY OF THE DRUMMER AS THE FLESH OF MUSICIAN AND INSTRUMENT ARE JOINED TOGETHER IN COMMON PURPOSE.

INJECT STORYBOARD

December 2nd, 2008

Between october to december 2008, I work on developping the shooting of my next performance project : INJECT. All the concept is about water and oxygen. The good think is that I finally found a friend of me ( idea came from sophie ) that want to participate and accept to be in a water cistern for 7 days.
