ART KILL SONIC PROTEST

AKA X [2]
23 MARS 2017
ÉGLISE ST MERRY, PARIS
SONIC PROTEST FESTIVAL

With Méryll Ampe (Fr), JF Blanquet (Be), Venzha Christ (Id), Vincent Epplay (Fr), Yann Leguay (Be), Nicolas Montgermont (Fr), Arnaud Rivière (Fr), RYBN.ORG (Fr), Nous Deux (Samon Takahashi & Claudia Squitieri) (Fr), Mario de Vega (Mx), Valentina Vuksic (Ch), JD Zazie (It). All musicians plays one after the other, each with a 20mn slot, strictly timed with a sandclock, improvising as many duets in the process.

In the crypt, the installation “Test Tone” from yann leguay presents a vinyl record and a record player whose respective motions have been reversed. The player revolve around the static record in order to create a 1000hz Test Tone frequency. The role reversal here suggests a Dadaist impulse and the contradictory deconstruction of utility proposes a remodification of the perceptual expectations of sound in relation to the materiality from which it arises.
