Devenir-Ensemble
The Devenir-ensemble sees an assemblage of musicians of Montreal working in co-improvisation from ambient sounds that contribute to the formation of affective communities. ‘Résonances manifestes’ is a comprovised music piece based on a sound score composed of field recordings from various demonstrations that shook the streets of Montreal in the recent years. The piece can be understood as a sound study on how the ambient sounds can participate actively to the gain in consistency of the moments of community. The process of research-creation underlying the piece involved a sound study on the acoustic ecologies of demonstrations, the composition of a sound score expressing different affective tonalities of these events, and the organization of a series of training workshops on the collective perception of sounds. The piece will be followed by a series of remixes of some movements by various sound artists of Montreal, in order to address creatively the impossibility of the gatherings and the imposed distance that have marked the recent actuality. 'Résonances manifestes' is released on Cuchabata Records (Montreal) and Creative Sources Recordings (Lisbon).
