Acousmonium I
Iannis Xennakis
Orient — Occident
20:00 — 20:15
This iconic work was originally composed for a film by Enrico Fulchignoni for UNESCO and is diffused for GRM by Jules Nêgrier. Full of mutations, interplays, overlaps, cross-fades, sudden shifts and hidden junction points, Orient – Occident threads materials together, stretching connections back to ancient times.

Three Entropic Landscapes / Trois paysages entropiques
22’, 2019
20:15 — 20:40
Presented as three infinitesimal movements, like three witnesses to the irreversible passage of time, inexorably carrying order towards chaos, concentrated energy towards diffuse noise, harmony towards dissonance. Mattias Puech stretches imperceptible phenomena, amplifying each, creating an unbreakable particle containing its own complete history and determining its own complete future. Three inventions which attempt to give meaning to time.

Pulsion / suspension
20:40 — 21:00
Architecture forms the foundation of Leila Bordreuil’s site-specific electro-acoustic compositions, setting the listener adrift in a polyphonic ocean of sound. Fascinated by otherworldly soundscapes, Bordreuil challenges traditional cello practices, pairing unorthodox amplification methods with extreme extended techniques. Through these practices, Bordreuil engages with the unique sound-spatialization of the Acousmonium, focusing on neurological perception and our physiological relationship to sound and space.
