"La Réparation du soliloque" - Installation
A specially conceived Flash application launches at random an endless litany. Fragments from the French evening news selected for their intrinsic poetical nature. These cut up, reorganised and repeated sections are being played over a deep, constant and modulated sound wave, which, over time, creates a surreal trance-like state related to psychoacoustics. A head-box device, suspended from the ceiling of the gallery, partly isolate the singled out listener from the ambient noise. Inspired both by Hal Foster’s book "The Return of The Real" and the repetitive syntax disarticulation of the poet Gherasim Luca, this piece was created in situ for Royal Wedding Expanded, a collective artistic response to the distortion of reality by the media.. Here, sound is being used to questions the position of the physical body in space and of the displaced social body. This Sound Installation was developed with David Marsalone and displayed in Paris at the Console Space in April 2006.

"Gold Trip Down Memory Lane"
Participative Performance.
As part of « Des Monts de la Lune », curated by the artist collective MU -with the Sound Drop Workshop- for the Nuit Blanche 2006. «Memory paints the past with a golden brush»... this old German saying used as a symbolic pun became the starting point for the project that took place in the Goutte d’Or (drop of gold) district of Paris. There, participants were asked to relive and describe a trajectory from a city ‘of their past’. Guided by a voice, over a layer of low frequencies, they were led to a narrative trance inducing dreamy and poetical tales. In contrast, other recordings were conducted in the street, where written words found whilst walking in the area: -adverts, posters, signs, graffiti, small ads placed on shop windows, titles of books, names of products...- were enumerated aloud. A layer of electronic sounds unifies these distant realities.

"La Réparation du colloque" - Live Intervention
Performance included in the “Mended Discourse” series. Several sentences, directly taken from the Mended Soliloquy installation, have been rewritten and expanded with a restructured syntax into a poetic litany. They were then recorded with the various voices, tones and accents of voluntary participants. Using Flash and MaxMSP interfaces, the live intervention mixes in real time these haunting voices modulated over a mix of electronic clicks and drones. The first of these live performances took place in April 2006, as part of the Formalité exhibition at La Générale, in Paris.

Live Intervention
Broken Rethorics is a hidden sound performance, (inspired by Deleuze’s faciality machine). The artist and the codes of spectacle disappear. The point, here, is to emphasize and divert the codes of “non-communication” in electronic music performances. These codes are then reorganised within a specific event. The voice has been transformed and reduced to infra-bass layers with micro-phonemes on the surface. The absence of semantic or visual guidance radicalises the event and immerses the audience in a more intimate grasp of ‘the show’. One attends an ambiguous event at the crossroads of live improvisation and casual ambient sound

Paricipative Perfomance
Ideally conducted in a proximity context. Single members of the audience are invited to sit in front of the DJ, to wear headphones and listen to a private mix. The DJ digs into his/her sound bank in order to create a personal and intuitive track, addressed to the specific listener. Each "stereologue" will last for around 8 min. When choosing to keep a trace of the event in an audio format, each mix is named after the listener-receiver. In the context of a club, a DJ would adjust his/her set according to the observable reaction of the public (dancing, cheering, leaving). Here, he/she investigates the protective shield of technology, coded behaviours and socio-cultural prejudices that shape an empiric act of judgement and seduction “at face value”...
