Presentation of the stereophonic organ "Le Petit Vertige" followed by a discussion on new stringed instruments.
"Le Petit Vertige," designed and manufactured by Léo Maurel, is a compact MIDI-controlled stereophonic organ.
During his residency at the Meyer Foundation in Marseille, Clément Vercelletto is working on composing a piece featuring "Le Petit Vertige" as the main character, a piece in the form of a landscape combining Ellen Arkbro's organ music, Chris Watson's field recordings, and Yoshi Wada's installations. During this exchange, Clément Vercelletto and Léo Maurel will present this instrument as well as their work as luthiers and composers.

Léo Maurel
Luthier and instrument maker
Based in Dangolsheim in the Bas-Rhin region since 2010, he designs and manufactures unusual instruments for musicians curious about new interfaces and sound experiences. His research focuses mainly on "acoustic" instruments, which inherit the playing techniques of electronic instruments developed in the 20th century, such as the Ondes Martenot. He has developed computer-controlled, spatialized, and transportable organs, as well as several models of motorized hurdy-gurdies.
Clément Vercelletto
Sound artist
Clément trained in percussion at the École nationale de musique de Villeurbanne, in electroacoustic composition at the Conservatoire à rayonnement régional de Lyon, and in sound at the Institut général des techniques du spectacle. He has collaborated with numerous directors and choreographers and designs his own shows with "Les sciences naturelles," a structure he created in 2014.
