ÉCOSYSTÈME(S)
self-interactive sound installation2019
Écosystème(s) is a self-interactive sound installation inspired by the communication techniques of orthopteran insects. Placed
on a listening desk, about twenty speakers of different models
broadcast sound samples whose spectra and behaviours are inspired by bug
songs. This device allows a global listening point of a sound
microcosm. Thanks to two listening microphones and a trigger and
threshold algorithmic system, each sample enters or disappears, depending on the
« sonic space » it can occupy. The audience is thus taken into
consideration and its sound presence modifies the behaviour of the
environment that tries to find a balance. The form is vivid and
unpredictable, in a hesitation between naturalist and artificial
landscape, between chaotic sound swarms and formed patterns. It invites attentive listening and silence.
