the question of place: the test of our way of sharing a listening to a place We know that something is born inside of what we would just could not decide. This relationship to space and time makes that a large part of knowledge fits in us by the body, like a dance. Crossed by, abandoned to the contradictory flows of information, feelings, relationships and matter, this body leaves nothing to chance. During spring 2007, in the parking lot of the City of Music (Paris), we recorded an improvisation where each of four artists moves freely in space (the one of chosen level), while remaining attentive to the other. This on-site improvisation is the result of our musical experience led to three, in another place in Paris - Metro Station Pré Saint-Gervais (see CD published by the American label Chloe, 2002). During recording, we are experiencing a real-time writing with two musicians and two sound-makers. |

An troubling analogy structures relationships between place, sound and hearing : the sound rushes from 360 ° around, defining from a lack, from the invisible horizon of sound, a center that is nothing else than our than listening body. Intuitively, the place is not defined differently : a spatial totality centered on a point in motion or not, inhabited or not. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
