SOUND BARRIER (It)

Sound Barrier is a project of audio/video reasearch who explores the borders between image and sound in the era of digital technologies. The starting point is constituted by excerpts of unvoiced cinema footage, mostly taken from motion/fantastic ‘60/’70 movies. These excerpts are analysed and manipulated in real-time by specific softwares that extract the informations that afterward will be transformed in sounds.
Sound Barrier is the unnoticeable point where image become sound and sound become image.

AUDEROSELAVY & EMOTYPE (Fr)

The audio/video set by Auderoseselavy (Vj) and Emotype (live) consists in an improvised collaboration between rétro visual and sample of everyday life’s noises. “Our performance consists in deforming in real-time image and sounds that are usually recognizable to transform its and consenquently create an experimental set.

The !S.A.D! – I C::NTR::L NATURE (It)

Live a/v improvising for electric bass guitar, butterfly and customade software C::ntr::l.
I Control Nature is an action of visual and musical improvising. It is the celebration of a hypothetical instinct able to govern everything.
Performance proposes an univocal, synesthetic action, out of every academic and socially correct conception. The aim of the project is to define what “control” really represents.
Live a/v is performed using C::ntr::l the custom-made software created by Marco Donnarumma aka The !S.A.D! using PureData and AudioMulch.

THE NOISER AKA NANOFAMAS – APO33 (Fr)

Nanofamas propose a live a/v performance based on the concept of slowness. Economic system and politic power are involved in an endless run toward the last rashness of the instant, based on the concept of relativity and simultaneity, times and also our life-style are accelerating in exponential way.
What remains fo our biological time?
Inside this approach to reality Nanofamas develops a different way to live our times, starting from a moment T, taking the time to put down an element and to stretch it out, to remove it…

Great times in Paris for Vision’r Festival Vj – http://www.vision-r.org/.
The festival had different locations around Paris: La Generale Manifacture in Sevres (where i performed I C::ntr::l Nature see pictures below), Le Yono in Paris, and the amazing structure Mains d’Oeuvres in Saint Ouen: a polifunctional 4 floors building, with two big main hall (where the most of the audio/video projects has been shown), a huge community hall (where to eat, drink and chat) , several rooms for workshops and an amazing cinema hall, where i tested one of the best spacial acoustic in Europe (i performed there toghether with G-mO the audio/video project Shut Down G8).

Many artists took part in the festival this year and obviously i hadn’t the time to see every performance. Among all projects i found really interesting and professional Juste Alice 02 (http://www.myspace.com/a_li_ce) a original and deep reinterpretation of the fabulous charachter created by Lewis Carrol, Strap on Dildos (http://vjemtv.net/strap_on_dildos) powerful and ironic performance about feminism and queer culture, Hyperspace (http://hyperespace.yroyto.com) synthethic hyperdigital 3 screens performance.
On Saturday in Salon Pro we (as FLxER Team) had a stand where we presented the upcoming LPM 5th Edition, toghether with Codanova, Vixid, Vjamm and Edirol.

A great aspect of the festival was the presence of international artists such as Elsa Vieira and Brendan Byrne (http://vjtheory.net), Toby Spark (Avit UK) that toghether with us from FLxER Team and Neologos from Vision’r (and of course other people, unfortunately i can’t mention everyone) are trying to create and support a worldwide network focused on vjing and audio/video live performances. We had really constructive conversations, so we had the chance to share. This is the best we could ask.

Thanks to all Vision’r staff (Neologos, 10Tordu and all the others). Here you are some pics from these 4 days festival. You can find all the pictures in my gallery, click here (picture courtesy of Yroyto, LeCollagiste).
