Collapse
Creation under Dome
Collapse is a piece created in collaboration with Pierre Amoudruz, artistic director of the AADN and video artist, during the workshop of January 2019.
Foreword: The sound of the video has been remixed with binaural technology in order to make it more faithful to the planetarium’s immersion, listening through headphones is therefore recommended.
This piece was born around the shared interest between Pierre and myself for collapsology, the theory of collapse. The concept was then to start from a vacuum to slowly but exponentially rise towards an overflow, a saturation of sound and visual spaces, leading to a collapse, fall followed by an open note towards the hope of better harmony.
The creation internship at the Planetarium taking place over only a handful of days, I had to resolve, like most of the participants, to recycle some of my personal compositions in order to invest more my work time on the structure and reflection regarding the spatialization of sound sources in the dome, rather than creating new content. The beginning of the performance is played live on the modular synthesizer, while the continuation (from 2:28) is an arrangement written on Ableton Live. Pierre Amoudruz, meanwhile, uses a MIDI controller connected to Resolume to interact with the sound.
