ARTWORK

Interferences (String Network)
Audiovisual performance

Interférences (String Network) is an 18 minutes audiovisual performance that explores the possibilities of embodiment of an electroacoustic work in real time through gestural interaction with a unique device. On stage, an audioreactive play of light unfolds gradually: Alexis Langevin-Tétrault builds a network of strings with wich he interacts to create a sound universe between the industrial noise, electronica and acousmatic music. Through the staging of corporality and the dialectical relationship between the human and the machine, Interférences (String Network) presents an allegory of the globalized and interconnected modern world in wich the individual seeks to derive meaning from his experience and attemps to preserve its freedom of action. Composer and musician from the post-rock, acousmatic and electronic scenes, Alexis Langevin-Tétrault proposes a singular brutalist universe and infuses a live music dynamic to a musical genre rarely incarnated by performance. This project was made possible by the support of Conseil des Arts et Lettres du Québec (CA), Château Éphémère – Fabrique sonore et numérique (FR), Université de Montréal (CA), The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (CA), Fonds de Recherche Science et Culture du Québec (CA), Exhibitronic Festival (FR) and Centre national de création musicale Césaré (FR).
