An immersive experience with no starting or ending point, an installation that plays on the balance and tension between music and silence. We revive broken, tired, unplayable guitar sound boxes. Over 150 micro compositions possible, varying in length from a few seconds to over a minute.

Festival Sonore @ Eastern Block, 16 & Septembre 2017
Microsurfaces transforme l’espace de la galerie en environnement immersif où le public circule librement parmi des caisses de résonance de guitares suspendues. Ces instruments brisés et injouables connaissent une seconde vie grâce à des excitateurs de surface qui les transforment en corps résonants uniques.
L’œuvre génère en continu un paysage sonore évolutif à partir de 150 micro-compositions issues de sons de guitares et d’ateliers de lutherie. Un algorithme semi-aléatoire orchestre leurs interactions, créant un équilibre dynamique entre musique et silence qui se renouvelle perpétuellement.

Microsurfaces – Self-generative sound nstallation
Microsurfaces transforms the gallery space into an immersive environment where visitors move freely among suspended guitar soundboxes. These broken, unplayable instruments are given new life through surface exciters that transform them into unique resonant bodies.
The work continuously generates an evolving soundscape from 150 micro-compositions derived from guitar sounds and luthier workshop recordings. A semi-random algorithm orchestrates their interactions, creating a constantly self-renewing dynamic balance between music and silence.
