À la volée - residency - Magnétophonie

At the crossroads of radio and concert, a collective, oriented listening of a place at a given moment. During the performance, spectators sit in the middle of four loudspeakers, watching the sound artists explore the field and give voice to what comes through their microphones. Everything the audience hears is captured and retransmitted live via the control room, which becomes a real composition station, without any sound being recorded beforehand.

By making the site audible from over 200 meters away, the sound artists provide us with a distorted, sensitive interpretation, in which they recompose the soundscape. Voices and words mingle with the surrounding sounds, the boundary between outside and inside is thwarted by sound, and a singular soundscape is revealed in the hollow of the ear. An attempt to open up the imaginary, and to experience intensely, through sound, the ordinariness of a living space.

What is a residency outing?
After several days on our territory, the company in residence unveils its work to you: it's an opportunity for them to perfect their project and reveal what goes on behind the scenes, and it's a chance for you to discover the artists, talk to them and give them your feedback.
