LIGHT - Stuck in a Cavern (created for ohrenhoch, Premiere)
by Julie Rousse
Julie Rousse on "LIGHT - Stuck in a Cavern":
This piece is a free sound poem on what it feels like to discover Light after a long - mythical - stay in darkness.
This is my free interpretation of Plato's Allegory of the Cavern.
This piece has been created in May 2010.
Julie Rousse:
Born in 1979.
Lives and works in Paris. Composer, improviser.
Laptop. Fieldrecordings. Dreams.
Self-taught sound artist, it is in theatre she made her first steps as a noise composer in Montreal. Collector of sounds she finds in the streets of the world, this raw material is for her an infinite source of rhythms and colours, which she shapes with real time sound treatment software – real time being the essential element of her spontaneous and chaotic approach.
Her main idea is to regain an organic feeling in music by means of electronic devices and improvisational acts. Working between composition and improvisation, she has developed her very own resonant and poetic universe, with a marked taste for abstract narration, turbulence of details and inextricable disorder of life.
Within her solo work and performances, she collaborates with artist coming from other artistic disciplines.
