Additional Information
Since her electroacoustic beginnings in the late 90s, Monique Jean has never ceased to unearth “a penetrating, rough and energetic sound material, with the idea that the materiality of sounds gives access to sensation, and generates both the sensible and the sensible”, to use her own words. Her research involves spatialization with an orchestra of loudspeakers, and she likes to exploit the continuous metamorphoses of sound flow, betting on unpredictability and imperfection in the image of life. A specialist in the no-input technique, here she refines her approach by exerting greater control over the sounds she gathers in complete unpredictability. Tumultes, an original piece she presents this Thursday, October 18 at Usine C, is the result of careful listening and circumspect gathering of sounds “that cut through the horizon of the everyday” and attempt “to make their way to you – here or elsewhere, near or far.” Tumultes was inspired by the works of Palestinian author Adania Shibli (Un détail mineur) and Belgian writer Antoine Wauters (Mahmoud ou la montée des eaux).For the first time at PAN M 360, Monique Jean grants this interview conducted by Alain Brunet.
