SEISMIK / WORKSHOP / SEOUL
For 2 days I gave a Seismik workshop to Seoul children’s. from 10 to 16 years old. They was very intrigued about the subject. And we built a Teensy interface that connect to an OpenFrameWork application based on the one I use for my performances.
At the end, we presented an installation at the Da Vinci creative festival, at Gumcheon Art center.

What a pleasure for me to play and see all these talented artists with me. Martin Messier, Nicolas Bernier, Woulg, Myriam Bleau, Betafeed, Artificiel, Maotik, etc …. We play at the Simon Fraser University in the FEI & MILTON WONG EXPERIMENTAL THEATRE. Such a good and beautifull place. I took some free days to walk in the city, taking a ride boat and discussing with ducks.
SEISMIK > INTERSTICE
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.
TRYPIC IN DEN HAAG
THE TRYPTIC Rewire festival november 7th 2014
It was planned to perform 3 of my works

[ TRAIN FRAGMENTS
+ AFTERSHOCK + DUST ] 

WITH THE PERCUSSION GROUP BLIN!MAN 
IN A OLD ELECTRICFABRIEK.
The venue was huge and fit totally with the spirit and aesthetic of these 3 pieces.
I had already performed Train Fragments with this percussion group in Brugge. They are very good and powerful. So, we started using the architecture resonance. Hit and Slam on the Steel metal structure and gradually move on the stage. All the audience in the dark with few lights on the structure of the factory. we played the first piece until the train derails _ just at the end of this movement, very synchronise with the score … Total black out. We crash the electricity of the factory. Incredible but true. Ironical !!!!! The building foreman was out for the week end. Impossible to reboot the system. But these first 15 minutes was so intense and the audience stay very hi when the power crash. So the tryptic was reduce to these 15 minutes. More pictures coming soon !
SEISMIK at MAINTENANT FESTVAL
Just after LINK.C I performed in solo “Seismik” and maked resonance with the University Tambour Auditorium and the Earth seismograph.
Earthquake in Roma
On the september 12th, I played at 90db festival in a such appropriate location for Seismik. A old paper factory in a middle of a municipal parc _ PARCO APPIA ANTICA_. It was kind of a danger for the audience. All the roof was made old dirty windows made with glass. And after connecting my software to Japan, all the building started to shake with this glass vibrations. At the end the performance the audience was so expressive and excited, the applause didn’t stop for 10 minutes… that it was impossible to go out of the stage. So, I decided to perform “Dust” to give a feedback gift to this warm audience even it was not planned in the program. You will find pictures of the geophone I installed on the stage to analyse the vibration/frequency of the factory related to my realtime internet connection Japan seismographs. The pictures of the destroyed piano was the one for Kathy Hynde beautiful piece “Bird Step Sequencer” __” http://kathyhinde.co.uk/bird-step-sequencer/ “
