Concert complet
Seconde nature
Olivier Messiaen liked to call himself a composer, a rhythmicist, and an ornithologist all at the same time, especially when he recorded the songs of birds in different parts of the world. Rhythmic vivacity, melodic virtuosity: Messiaen undertook his immense Catalogue d'oiseau, which ends with Le Courlis cendré that lives on the island of Ouessant. "Slow and sad tremolos, chromatic ascents, wild trills, and a tragically repeated glissando call, which expresses all the desolation of the seascapes."
The place, the time, the territory: Florent Caron Darras in turn records soundscapes, but with a 3D microphone, then analyzes them to replace some of the original sounds by instruments or synthesizers. Transfer from the real country to the imaginary. Natasha Barrett, who perfectly masters electronic land art, exposes here the potentialities of sound immersion with the ambisonic diffusion of the Espace de projection.
