Inhabited Silences question the travel as a state, what does being in a landscape and dig into it mean; and how do the places we find ourselves in, imprint our body and consciousness. Visitors are themselves invited into a sensory travel, through an explorer’s collection of sounds, objects, words and maps.

  • Still open -> Nov. 23 at Sorte Firkant in Copenhagen. Inhabited Silences sound installation, in collaboration with @lia_leciel The inhabited silences question travel as a state, what being in a landscape and digging into it means; and how the places we find ourselves in pervade body and consciousness. The installation invites to a journey across a collection of sounds, objects, words and maps brought back by an explorer of unknown territories. The installation is like a palimpsest which evolves with each place where it is shown. It plays with the arbitrary nature of those places, as an echo to the arbitrariness of our personal trajectories. Sound materials are sampled in the exhibition places or in the surrounding environment; as are the raw materials, plants or minerals. The cartographies are freely inspired by the topography of the places. New poems will be added to the collection along the way. . . #soundinstallation #soundart #soundartist #sound #art #contemporaryart #installationart #inhabitedsilences #soundscapes #landscapes #poetry #texts #maps #cartography #travel #travelstate #territory #collection #objects #explorer #paulinejupin #simoncacheux #sortefirkant

  • Last snippet of the concert at Tarnos church during contemporary art exhibition Topographic 6. (Curated by François Loustau). Still fully improvised with shakuhachi flute and DroneFx app on the iPad. The distortion is the @mtl.asm Your And You’re. I like the way the fuzz is slowly giving up the sound space to the breathy flute sound just by controlling the intensity of the air flow. Thanks to artist Juan Aizpitarte for the video! . . #concert #live #music #sound #soundart #experimental #experimentalmusic #impro #improvisation #flute #shakuhachiflute #shakuhachi #fuzz #distortion #effectpedal #synth #drone #ambient #church #exhibition #topographic6 #juanaizpitarte #simoncacheux
  • Excerpt from my concert two weeks ago in the ruins of @abbaye_de_sorde This takes place at the end of the show, just a @korgofficial volca Keys and some @neunaberaudio Immerse reverb. Most of the concert was improvised but I had those two already prepared harmonies in stock, just in case, and the timing felt right. The video in the background is a real time generative video programmed in @processingorg I coded it for last year installation Carte des Nuées and made some adaptations for the concert but the sync points are pure luck :) . . #music #improvisation #sound #soundart #concert #synth #analog #reverb #acousticspace #generativeart #live #generativegraphics #video #stonewall #ruins #abbey #simoncacheux #korg #processing
