Seats for the performances are limited — we recommend arriving early. Registration is recommended for the modular synths workshop.
We kick off with Eunoé, an immersive sound performance in collaboration with hypnosis practitioner Anne-Laure Terrade, in which artist Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle is guided into an altered state of consciousness from which musical creation emerges intuitively and sensorially.
Throughout the weekend you can visit the mesmerising Eunoé installation by Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle that explores the links between sound, water and memory. Inspired by neuroscience, EMDR therapy and hypnosis, the work imagines sound as a tool to awaken lost memories. At its centre: glass sculptures filled with water, resonating like an inner landscape.
ALEA(s) delivers bubbling performances created in the moment, combining drawing, video animation and electronic music. Surrounded by their audience, the three members of this audiovisual collective create their show without a safety net. Intense, organic electronic music fills the room as live drawing unfolds on a big screen toward a boiling point.
Curious about modular synths? The workshop Introduction aux synthétiseurs modulaires with François Gaspard offers a hands-on intro to sound synthesis — no experience needed. Learn how modules interact, demystify the jargon, and explore electronic sound from the inside out (in French).
François Gaspard also presents Une histoire de la musique électronique et de ses instruments. More than just the product of machines or software, electronic music reveals a complex relationship between human creativity and the technologies we invent. From early sound experiments in the late 19th century to today’s use of artificial intelligence, he explains the ongoing dialogue between scientific progress and artistic vision (in French).
