Premiere of creation during the Propagations 2023 festival

Since 2018, Julie Rousse has been traveling the Rhône, a giant river the size of two countries, with her microphones, hydrophones, piezoelectric sensors or seismographs - from the eponymous Glacier in Switzerland where it rises to the Mediterranean Sea where it flows out of the Camargue Delta.

The sound artist and composer proposes to consider the River as an entity in its own right: Rhone - personified without being anthropomorphic, present in the form of a multitude of complex and organic, hybrid and sculptural intricacies - taking on a voice, making a body.

It offers listeners the opportunity to enter the symphonic fresco of the Rhone's sound biotope and to immerse themselves in the experience: to listen to, see and experience the river as a living entity.

In this multiphonic sound installation, an ever-changing work of art that depends on the real-time data it receives, the different strata of sounds recorded on the Rhone are superimposed, intermingled and responded to in electroacoustic compositions that combine pure field recordings, experimental recordings, spoken words, electronic waves, and the matter of water, wind and life.
