Call for projects for young musical creation Creation of music for the geolocation application Le bruit de l'air
BACKGROUND
Art Zoyd Studios, the Valenciennes-based Centre de Création Musicale, has worked with Collectif MU to develop a geolocation-based smartphone application for the Gérard Hourbette square (Place du Phénix). The square was named in honor of the musician and composer from the group Art Zoyd, who passed away in 2018. Since 2023, Art Zoyd Studios has been using this device to make the square a musical and creative place, and hopes to showcase young musical talent from 2024 onwards. The first version of Bruit de l'air was created from music by Gérard Hourbette by musician and composer Jérôme Soudan. The idea is to give a permanent commission to a young artist each year. Spectators and listeners will then be able to browse through the different versions. MORE INFO
OBJECT To design and create, with the help of our Computer Music Producer, a new sound geography on the square based on the "Le bruit de l'air" application, the first version of which you can download by scanning this QR code:
TARGET PROFILES Composers, musicians, visual artists or anyone using electronic music under 35 years of age at the time of application.
THEMATIC "Valenciennes", the eponymous lace created in our city. We found this point, or thread, of departure interesting, as it relates to the city's identity, and can be considered from a variety of angles: the voices of embroiderers, the threads that are woven between people, or work around looms are all possible avenues. Examples include the composition for orchestra and tape Trans by composer K. Stockhausen's composition for orchestra and tape, with a recording of the loom, or composer G. Ligeti 's "Second Epoch", the idea for which came to him in a dream: that of weaving an infinite fabric.
CONTRIBUTION FROM ART ZOYD STUDIOS 1,500 € royalties for commissioning a creation. One-week residency with our IT Director. Transportation from home to our studios (300€ maximum) and hotel and meals during the week of residency.
