Musica
Mobile is a musical concept implemented from a electroacoustic
diffusion set up of eight loudspeakers surrounding the public. It brings
into play a space-time vision of the sound events which is expressed at
the same time by a dynamic in the space generated by the diffusion set
up, extreme swiftness in the trajectories of the sound and by amazing
effects of sound transmutations.
Musica Mobile is not based on rigid writings, but is calculated in real
time starting from algorithms largely calling upon random procedures.
Thus, if the musical structure itself is well defined by a program, a
great number of musical parameters varies from an execution with another,
then leaving an important place given at “random”. In that
sense Musica Mobile is presented in the form of an intermediary between
an installation and a piece of concert. Musica Mobile 2 plays with sounds
borrowed from the techno music, in some ways itself affiliated to the
concrete music and Musica Mobile 1 is incarnated in eight microtonaux
virtual pianos.
«Musica Mobile 3» confront a flutist with a universe of souffles scattered by fragments of dynamic sound. The link with the concept mobile Musica place also by sounds trajectories of the flute triggered by the interpreter.
Musica Mobile is written by using CLCE “Common Lisp Compositional
Environment”, environment of programming developed in Grame starting
from the data-processing programming language Lisp which was founded on
Midishare, system of exploitation real time also developed in Grame and
prize-winning on several occasions. Musica Mobile is a sound installation which unfolds like a movie by one showing of a total duration of approximately 37’ divided into three parts :
Mobile Musica 1 : Seventh
sky 16'40”
Mobile Musica 2 : TesKnockOut
8' 29”
Mobile Musica 3 : Souffler/Jouer 12’
These showings can be programmed in loop as long as wished. According to
the layout of the venues and the power of amplification each showing can
accomodate from 20 to 200 people.
Production : Grame, centre national de création musicale à Lyon
