about

Prehend the room is a project about how we experience space. About how we become, in space, through sound.

It is an installation where feeback evolves over time. A shift in our perspective. Space, as well as sound, or myself, the water running down, are the instruments of the performance and the performers. A co-creation where becoming itself is the instrument, the technology of performance. To sound, it needs to become, bodies need to move, to sound.

------------------------------------

#0 - Pièce de vie

For this particular setting (#0), only two room microphones were used: one in my living room, slightly directed toward a speaker, and the second one, with me, on the kitchen table, laying there as I washed the dishes.

The sound captured by those microphones is sent to a group of virtual instruments (three stock presets of the same synthesizer). Both captured pitch and volume act as controllers over the instruments, which play accordingly. This signal is itself captured by the microphones, which feed it back to the instruments for a further loop. Sound is thus controlling itself over time. It is an evolutive feedback.

On this track, the only manipulation I did was to start and stop the recording, and take the second microphone with me in the kitchen. All the dynamics and harmonic content of this track are the results of evolutive feedback.

No further processing was added to the track apart from a limiter - not to blow up my speakers - and an EQ, only to reduce high frequencies over 20 kHz, we do love our dogs ;) .
