Fine Sound Art since 1993Audio–Visual Performance Extense with Nicolas Souchal, Théatre Astrée, Lyon
Nicolas Souchal (augmented trumpet) and Diemo Schwarz‘s (computer music design, visuals) art–science research studies the correspondences between the sound and visual worlds, as well as the sharing of control between humans and machines. To do this, a computer exploits the sounds of the trumpet in two ways. On the one hand, it applies live processing to these sounds, on the other hand, it analyzes them and draws from them the way in which the video navigates in a corpus of images of paintings by Elisabeth Saint-Jalmes. The public is invited to construct their own sensitive experience of the device and to interpret the correspondences between images and sounds.
Nicolas Souchal‘s inventive trumpet playing is in this project doubly extended by audio transformation and video generation, thanks to the cocavs project from Diemo Schwarz‘s art–science residency at Iméra – Institut d’études avancées d’Aix-Marseille Université.
