INKUBATOR .03

June 7th, 2015

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.

May 21st, 2015

May 13th, I performed SEISMIK+AFTERSHOCK at Interstice festival. A very warm audience. A few days before, I got my technique steal suitcase, my audio interface, my controllers, geophone, antenna, everything. Fortunately my computers and my modular were in a second suitcase. Cancel my performance was thought, then with the festival team dynamics, we have traveled all over town to remanufacture and buy my accessories midi controllers. Phew !!!! Narrowly, I managed to present Aftershock and Seismik. My reward was this warm and enthusiastic audience.

EKOS_WORKSHOP

May 16th, 2015

Durant 2 mois [ de mars à mai], j’ai élaboré et donné avec Mickael Lafontaine un workshop avec les jeunes de l’école Marguerite De Lajemmerais. Travailler avec des étudiantes hyper motivées sous le chapeau de leur enseignante Anne-Claire Morin fut une expérience vraiment stimulante pour moi. Un workshop qui s’articulait autour de la collecte de son, son traitement en temps réel, des expérimentations sur la physicalité audio avec des transducteurs et des chimies, un apprentissage au coding, des expériences pratiques en prises de vues vidéo, etc etc. Un 2 mois très chargé qui a culminé vers une performance à la Place des Arts. Une performance d’un niveau artistique et professionnel dont nous tous sommes très fiers. Bravo les filles !!!!!!!!!

Cette véritable équipe s’est unie sous le nom de EKOS collectif. Création live d’écosystèmes chimiques et numériques. Ékos sculpte en direct le son et la lumière afin de créer des paysages macroscopiques filmés en direct.

The Geologic Imagination

March 3rd, 2015

february 2015, MusiekgeBow / Amsterdam
I presented Seismik and Aftershock a the great Sonic Acts festival.
One of the best festival I was invited in term of contents and concept. These 2 pieces was dedicated to this festival. The thema for the whole events was The Geologic Imagination. Inspired by geosciences, The Geologic Imagination zooms in on planet Earth. Beside performances, screenings and installations, they presented conferences around this theme and specifically our Anthropocene period. very inspired for me. I found many links with my interests and works. I played on the 27th at the great MusiekgeBow, one of the best venue for acoustic.

ICY EOTONE

February 3rd, 2015

Finally Eotone return back to Quebec, at the National Musée des Beaux Arts during the Mois Multi festival. Such an adventure for these 4 wind beasts. Antoine and Mathieu had to recover all the logic box with a heat home-made lunch box to fight the minus 30 degrees celcius. It was so beautiful to see the structures move under the snow.

Scheveningen Pier

November 9th, 2014

when I walked on the waterfront, I found this incredible piece of architecture. Built in 1901 [ W.B. Liefland, architect ] and destroyed by the second world war, he was reconstructed in 1961 [ Huig Maaskant, Dick C. Apon and D. Dijk ]. Have a look on these historical pictures. “ The pier is an iconic building which bankrupt for the fourth time, what is not quite strange to be honest. Based on urban, local and programmatic analysis that I made for this project, I realised that the pier shouldn’t be used for the retail or hospitality industry.” Maryn Hekker … at the end, some of my pictures. I will certainly use this pier pictures in some version of my project Aftershock.
