(noise & immobilité)

What it is not : DATA_Noise is certainly not a dance piece with musical accompaniment, using some sort of the so-called "new technology" - sensors, computers - to be more "modern". DATA_Noise is a musical project, a composition written for synthesized electronic sounds, and meant to be played live, using the computer as the main instrument which creates by many means such as different synthesis or transformation techniques (scanned, granular, wave- terrain synthesis, waveshaping etc...). One of those techniques will be the use of a dancer, performing an extremely slow dance (of an entierely written choregraphy), and whose minimal movements, as seen by different sensors, will have a disruptive function on the behavior of the music-making computer - a way to introduce some "noise" in this very often too precise a machine, a way to maybe re-introduce some of the noisiness of the world into this electronic composition.
DATA_Noise n'est pas une chorégraphie accompagnée par de la musique, mais bien un projet de musique électronique jouée en direct, dont une des techniques utilisées pour créer le sonore (à côté de la synthèse granulaire, du wave-shaping, de la synthèse scannée etc.) sera l'utilisation d'une danse extrêmement lente dont les mouvements microscopiques serviront à injecter de l'instabilité dans le processus ; une façon d'incorporer à la musique le bruit du monde.
