Training session and concert for a musician-athlete30 cymbals and speeches for voices human and digitally recorded
Performance for an athlete-musician, 30 cymbals and speeches for recorded human and digital voices. The concert consists of a training between sound action and art du déplacement. A voice synthesis algorithm (Karen) dialogues with a human voice and intervenes on the modulations of the performer's gesture through sequences of orders and aphorisms, articulating a surreal, oracular and pseudo-philosophical speech. If Karen intervenes on the performer, Alice leads the audience to reflect on the psychophysical effects of sound and urges them and actively participate in a perceptual exercise that interweaves vision with listening and memory. Karen and Alice transform the context of the action into a speech music concert or a science fiction scenario whose protagonist is an astronaut, a traceur, a soldier, a monk, a musician or none of the above.
This is a performance designed to be produced in an enclosed, quiet space in unusual locations.
The listening of the entire performance is done through headphones, in order to allow a privileged relationship between the individual user and the performer and reproduce, in a direct and almost tactile way, the sound sensation of the physical impact of the performer's body on the saucers, his breaths and his micro movements.
For a correct listening and viewing, it is strictly necessary that the audience is arranged around the performer at a distance of about 40 cm, arranged in several rows on the ground and standing.
