creation

Since 2018, Julie Rousse has been traveling the Rhone River, with her microphones, hydrophones, piezoelectric sensors and seismographs, from the eponymous Glacier in Switzerland where it originates, to the Mediterranean Sea where it flows into the mouth at the Delta de Camargue. 

The sound artist and composer proposes to consider the river as a living entity: Rhône - personified without being anthropomorphic, present in the form of a multitude with complex and organic entanglement, hybrid and sculptural - taking voice, making body. 

It plunges the listeners into the symphonic fresco of the Rhone's sound biotope and invites them to enter into the experience: to listen, see and live the river. 

In this multiphonic sound installation, an ever-changing work of art that is constantly changing according to the real-time data it receives from the river, the different strata of sounds recorded on the Rhône are superimposed, intermingled and responded to, in electroacoustic compositions where pure field recordings, experimental recordings, spoken words, electronic ripples, water, wind and the living intersect.
