about

'Nous avons choisi cinq maisons dans le sud de la France. Volontairement limité, notre temps dans chaque maison est cadré par un processus d'enregistrement. Notre but est de parvenir à capter et à solliciter la structure de l'espace intérieur et extérieur de la maison'

Recordings : july 30th - August 5th 2001
74'10

Description of the process
During Summer 2001, we did recordings in five different houses, located in four departments of the South of France (Périgord, Ardèche, Drome – South and North). This set of geographical contrasts reinforces our choice of the architectural, space variations. Each house thus has its unicity as well in the field of the landscape as of architecture, without forgetting the nature of the owners or the conditions climatic... Voluntarily limited, our time in each house is determinated by a process of recording : our goal is to arrive at the listening of interior and external space, i.e. its measurement. Center experiment, the house is the perimeter of analyses, where information of the entire site arrives. According to the parameters of each site, the saxophone seeks the adequate note.
This minimal tonal play tries to define a conjonction/conversation between space and architecture, and the landscape.

Our process of work is as follows :

1- Calibration of spaces of the house with the saxophone and the microphones together in each part.
The saxophone always produces the same note.

2 - Calibration of spaces of the house the saxophone playing in each part and microphones fixed at
the threshold of the house (interior side). The saxophone always produces the same note.

3 – In-situ improvisations. The microphones are laid out in the house and the saxophonist circulates
outside as inside the house. A mixing is necessary.

4- Interview of the owner

5 - photographs of the site and the house.

éric la casa Paris, France

For 30 years, while listening to the environment, I have been questioning the perception of reality and has tried to expand the notion of infra-ordinary (space-time at low intensity), from background noise to the inaudible, through the wait, the pause... ... more
