A moving sound material from electronic pads where acoustic instruments, voices, silence, poems and traditional music mingle merge to reach a state of contemplation and attention that promotes access to the subtle frequencies and hidden meanings of sound.

Unfolding over several hours, this space also allows the public to let themselves be infused by the music, to fall asleep there, to dream there, to go out and come back.

The desired atmosphere approaches the spirit of the home, un comfort that allows musicians to be confident and listeners to be comfortable and receptive enough to enter deeply into listening and emotion.

The music room is a comfortable space where you can sit down, read books, watch video projections, escape time, drink tea and eat cakes made by the musicians.

Wherever we come to instal the music room, we always seek to recreate a reminescent atmosphere of a living room. Some tea, armchairs, cushions and where tea is served at will.

Our different projects (ceramics, drawing, video, embroidery) participate in the facility. Thus we create almost from scratch the desired aesthetics to immerse the listeners in our sound creation.

More than a classic form of concert, it's a full installation

where the audience is free to evolve and move to the rhythm of the music.

The music
The music is created gradually from sound layers designed with digital and analog synthesizers. Acoustic instruments joining the machines. The clarinet, the trombone and arching dulcimer develop melodic aspects, warmly wrap the sound and develop harmonic waves. At times, Indian classical music in the Dhrupad style emerges, a very old music centered on melody, harmonics, accuracy and spirituality.

Poetry has an important place in sound development: words are chanted or whispered, sung or carried by sounds. Music becomes a vector for living poetry, deployed in space.

Fado, a traditional Portuguese song that expresses saudade, emerges from these soundscapes and leads us into a deep, intense lyricism, before blending into the whole.

We are inspired by traditional music, contemplative ambient and contemporary music, and also by hip-hop culture and spoken words.

 

The night

The course of the music room can extend to an entire night. Each part is then further developed and the place installed to allow the public to doze off, to play with the particular temporality of night and dream. The night ends with a generous breakfast to share together.
