Soliloquy in motion (Flat noise)


Selected at the Ars Electronica Forum Wallis 2021, Contemporary Music Festival based in Valais/Switzerland.

Like most people, I spent the year being torn apart by a strange cultural dimension made of over communication and isolation.
At the centre of our universal purgatory, the screens are taking more space and time inside our transformative experience. This digital and live-streamed exode is pushing our intimate and collective behaviour to its limits.
With Soliloquy in motion, I decided to explore live art without technological mirror or windows. This is the premise and promise of my desire for others and places that are invisible and impalpable.
I explore ways to synchronise body language, sonic friction and interrogative voice to offer an unknown imaginary land to the audience.
I want to experiment and decide if I prefer performing with an imaginary audience more than in front of an inanimate object.

Flat noise is the inaugural audio performance of Soliloquy in motion
Flat noise is a fight between empty space and a sonic parasite. They are both fighting for what remains of my attention. I'm not a prize. 
The prize is not who, but where. How will I still believe about the place where I exist? Architecture or pain? I'm unable to choose, I'll try again and again. What primal elements are constituting the reality of an environment? What are the minimal motion and thoughts to incarnate a space? Are friction and declaration the requirements to cherish togetherness? For how long can we remember inside the dimension of absence?

Far away from home, baffled by my new environment, it has been almost a year without holding like-minded people, friends and chosen family in my arms. Faces on screens are becoming more and more unreal. My digital addiction might accept the bargain, but my intimacy is missing its favourite target. My body and my mind need a presence, even an untouchable and undesirable one. Flat noise is a date and a trap to forget the absence momentarily. 

You are invited to colonise this moment and keep it with you on your way out.

PS: please use your earbuds/headphones to enter into my imaginary audio dimension.
