Atmos

Atmos is a fluid project straddling the boundary between the visual and musical worlds, as much a visual installation as a collection of mechanical, air and water-based musical instruments. Within this ensemble, the performer acts, manipulates instruments and composes. Atmos reflects on the possible autonomy an instrument can have using physical phenomena such as gravity or the elasticity of materials. How do chance and humanity fit into this organic-machine world, leaving more room for interpretation and musical play? This long-term project alternating between instrument making and musical research is constantly enriched through experimentation and borrows from the organ the image of being 'all-encompassing'. Always keenly aware of the creation, disappearance and transformation of sounds, the artist performs more as a response to their environment than in front of an instrument.
