Show 0919 : Symphony for a city (Radio Panik)
Subjectiv sound visit, "Symphony for a city" goes out of the field of reality in order to tranform it, mix it and make it sing. Based on records made during october 2022 in Bruxelles, this sound play distort the thousand noises of the city in order to make arrise his poetry, his rage, his rythm. In punctuation, daily words used in the french language like « bonjour » (hello), « oui » (yes), « non » (no) and « merci » (thank you) are declined in their infinites intonations. Oui don’t mean necessairly yes. Non can be sometimes be ask like a question. Merci is often used without a thought. Bonjour exist in a unconscious way but can also be used in very intimate opening to the closest persons. So many possibilities with which a game is established, first in solo and then with interactions between each words. This words, repeats, exhausted by repetition, loose then theirs significations for finaly just keeping theirs musicality, and theirs radicalness. Finaly, they enter into the landscape in which they are inscribed, in fake or in real.
Show 0609: Enfonçures by Thomas Turine (Radio Campus)
For acsr 20th birthday party, Thomas Turine performed an electronic live version of Enfonçures. He previously composed thissoundtrack for Caroline Logiou’s theater piece based on Didier-Georges Gabily’s poem, about the 1st Gulf War.
Thomas Turine is a composer, a musician and a sound artist. He has created and is leading the Cosipie Ensemble which gathers musicians, singers and actors. They work together on his contemporary musical compositions and his musical theatre pieces (“88 Constellations“).
He also works with artists from performing arts, plastic arts and auteur cinema. He started off his musical journey as a child with folk music, then he discovered new wave music (LVDCR), rock music (Major Deluxe 2001-2009), acid-house and electronic music (Sitoid 1996-:::).
Since 2002, he’s been closely working with stagedirectors, movie makers and choreographers who are interested in exploring contemporary forms and making new creations. He both composes the music pieces and designs audio spaces. He has created the electro-acoustic sound system for about 60 pieces. He invents his own instrumental composition process, either on computers or on paper. He turns his composition into something more plastic. He likes to take on a visual representation of the world and creates a new one. His work on space, both in the matter of his musical composition or the sound spatialisation tends to work itself in a subliminal way so that the perception of his pieces are organic. The body of the listener has to be engaged and engrossed. He intends his music to be a place of encounter with the listener.
In 2013 with acsr, he creates HO, an abstract radio piece based on sounds collected in Iceland. With the acsr too and the ONA, Thomas launched in 2016 the In Ouïe project, a thinking and exchange project on hearing, between blind people, sound practitioners and everyone.
