Music Application for Interpreting "Archaos Infinita III" by Ph. Schoeller
Philippe Schoeller
"Archaos Infinita III"
for 12 directed percussion,
& Electronics with iPhones/Smartphones,
played and spatialized by the public.
Duration: 8 - 9 min.
Continuing the cycle "Archaos Infinita, I and II", for 12 directed percussion,
This third partition was written for the 12 living musicians of Paris Percussion Group, ally
to a partition made up of materials intended to be heard
On speakers.
Creation on September 21, 2018, on the occasion of the opening
from "La Scala", in Paris. The PPG is led by Julien Leroy.
Each and each of the public triggers the electronic parts from their smartphone.
It is the conductor who gives the starting points.
The nature of electronic music opens the space and distorted time.
One of the conceptions of electronic matter was to manage to build a
certain "acoustic refinement": that inherent
to the very nature of the diffusion instrument: a simple smartphone.
Light. Discreet. Even if we usually have to turn them off in concert, here,
You absolutely have to light them!
This defect thus tries to become quality. Because distribution and distribution
spatial, fine and flexible, smartphones, as well as trigger cascades
- by each and each public - sound sources, open
SECLIC TRADE perception to multidimeter influence.
Archaic, essential, primal, fundamental nature of hearing: space and texture.
The infinity of heaven and the nobility of the earth.
I want to greatly thank Christophe Lebreton, from Gramme, for
its availability, skill and benevolence, lights by
which it offers us the possible to hear
This new work that combines the musician's gesture, infinite organic beauty
in the theater, subtle and invisible, of technology; this world
capricious because paradoxically archaic.
