Vision

Vision was born in 2007 in the wake of Les Corps Exquis, a room where was used a process of recording and broadcasting of each of the parts that compose it, creating an effect of vocal overlays questioning the immediate memory and awakening the deep memory, that which the forgetting generally protects. The choir a cappella, often in unison, sings a meditative text along a melodic line where the horizontal (monody) and the vertical (the fixed sounds) intersect, mix, unfold or move away.

The electroacoustic work was performed on five pieces – Zikr, La Scala del Cielo, Illuminations, Neb Ankh, Khat – whose composer extracted waves, tablecloths, sonic energies, strange vanishing lines. The harmonic effect is striking because its depth of field seems to form a backdrop of an “immemorial” memory. The term vision is as much for the eye as for the ear and the heart, seizures, moments when everything appears in the light. From perception to appearance, from intuition to dream or revelation, from feeling to simulacrum, a breakthrough of our inner world.
