As part of the Altitude Jazz Festival
The music of Petite Montagne is nourished by an imagination of lost shepherds' songs, sailing in the air on the heights of a small mountain in southern Europe. It can, by the presence of a drone, evoke Mediterranean and Indian music or come close to an archaic blues. Pascal Charrier uses a folk guitar with a modified tuning, which emphasizes the natural timbre and resonance of the instrument. The harmonic reflexes are disturbed, leaving a great place to a memorial game, a primitive relationship to sound. For this new performance concert, he invites the composer Christian Sebille. In addition to the diffusion in the place, it will be a question of transformation of the sound in real time, in order to propose to the listeners a sensitive and sensory course, emphasizing the various acoustics of the spaces of the Center of Contemporary Art of Briançon.
Christian Sebille is a composer and artistic director of the GMEM in Marseille. He works on the realization of sound installations in situ, in particular within the framework of a series entitled Miniatures. The place of sound capture is linked to the place of its diffusion in a ratio of space compression (reduction of the diffusion space in relation to the capture space) and temporal reduction (ratio of capture time / diffusion time). Moreover, he works on the concrete sound and on the capacity of the material to be in itself its own diffuser (the instrumental object). The radiation of the material and the movement of the object (sound) play with each other.
