La caravane toute pimpante a tranquillement pris la route pour quelques représentations, nous pensions qu’il s’agirait d’une dizaine de spectacles, vingt, tout au plus. Et voilà, 9 ans après, le Carlonéon est toujours sur la route, fort de plus de 100 représentations, plus de 1000 levers de…

Replacement of the thongs of a bandoneon

I am asked where it is possible to find strips to replace those of an old bandoneon. It so happens that I recently needed to change my bandoneon’s thongs and did not take the time to see if it was possible to find them on the canvas. This is probably possible, but certainly more expensive than it really is and it will certainly require a delivery time. So I went…

My Live Looping set up

When we practice Live Looping, we add to the instrumental game, gestures that should not interfere with the interpretation of the music. The choice of the tool is fundamental because it induces an interaction and particular constraints. A musician finds it normal to spend hours choosing and preparing his instrument, practicing … When we start making Live Looping, we must have the same requirement. I propose to explain here the…

Tubulus – Sound installation

The sound space is an ark. There is a tube tree, 9 automatic bells, 6 speakers on the floor, 4 suspended speakers driven by motors, one distant speaker, another for bass and several small lights. Let your mind wander in the organic sound, which touches the deepest part of the body, which astonishes or cradles. Choose static listening, nestled in the cushions, or prefer the movement and walk your ears…
