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.


TRYPIC IN DEN HAAG

November 9th, 2014

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 !

LINK.C / RENNES / FRANCE

October 20th, 2014

I presented for the first time my new piece LINK.C at the festival “Maintenant” in rennes. PIECE BASED ON PHILIP GLASS’S STRING QUARTET NO. 2. The festival ask the ICARI String Quartet to play the Philip Glass score. I was very impressed and touched by their way to interpret this beautiful piece. They worked on some organic and fine details to achieve a very emotional interpretation. Thank’s again to Gaetan and Cyril to invite me to perform LINK.C in a this world premiere.
