Inspired by Alvin Lucier's piece for flute and electronics "947", Sympathies artificielles #1 explores the bassoon's characteristic acoustic properties combined with pure electronic frequencies.
A tonal writing, executed slowly, leaving room for sound texture, playing with the bassoon's spectral signature and hybridizing with synthetic sounds. A Diaphony inviting psychoacoustic phenomena, subjective tones, microtones, beats, masks and spatial effects to finally distinguish a single composite sound mass enriched by multiphonic sounds, sung sounds and spectral effects.
This piece places the natural fluctuations of breath in tension with the stability of synthesized frequencies, generating a sound material in perpetual mutation, from which artificial sympathies emerge.

Eric Dode
Sound artist
Electronic musician (Apacitron / RedOdd), industrial designer by training, co-founder of the association reso-nance.org and of the LFO [Lieu de Fabrication Ouvert], Fablab in Marseille's Belle de Mai wasteland. The design of interactive artistic devices, educational content and creative tools are at the heart of his practices and those of the reso-nance collective. Since 2018, Eric has specialized in electronic lutherie, designing physical and software interfaces, for museums, theater, stage, for specific audiences (autism, disability), for children (participation in the prototyping of the Philharmonie des enfants - Philharmonie de Paris), for very young children (design of multimedia creation devices embedded in day-care centers). His work as a composer and sound designer stems from these original designs. New interfaces naturally prompt him to envisage new gestures and new writing styles, which he explores and experiments with in a variety of forms, with a growing attraction for electroacoustic composition, for which he obtained his DEM at the Pierre Barbizet Conservatory in 2024.
