Utter

An interactive performance and installation
Watch Utter Trailer
Utter tells a story about the complexities of the mother/child relationship from the perspective of language acquisition in a performance with sound and images. The piece is based on a text and composition by Anne La Berge. She invited me to develop the visual part of the piece, and I created the multi-screen combination of texts and images, based on ‘collages’ and found footage. We involved Marcel Wierckx who in turn helped with the interactive set up that we had envisioned for the piece. The three of us worked artistically on developing Utter, aiming at a format that could be performed live by Anne as well as being an interactive installation. The set includes 6 iPads that run a newly developed app that interacts with a laptop that steers both audio and visual material.
Unsounds records has published Utter within a collection of digital stories. Utter has been performed in the US, Mexico, New Zealand, and Europe.
The making of Utter and performance tours can be seen on Anne’s website: here.

Heretics
June 22nd, 2016 § 0 comments § permalink
Heretics is a series of portraits of radical heretical figures found throughout the history of schismatic thinking. Heretics like Caravaggio, William Burroughs, Jose Mujica, Marquis de Sade and Johnny Rotten, fascinated the artists. These influential figures are presented here in the form of poetic texts and catchy melodies combined with experimental noise.
With the addition of ex-Sonic Youth guitarist, singer and songwriter Thurston Moore, Anne-James Chaton and Andy Moor’s more than a decade long collaboration becomes an extra exciting trio. Together they researched and created the material for Heretics during a residency in the French port of St Nazaire, in July 2014. They used voice, guitars and electronics in solo, duo or trio, to collaboratively explore their ideas and co-write texts and music. The process was documented on film by Benoit Bourreau, and a DVD is part of the package containing as well a Cd and a book of texts. I had the privilege to be invited during the residency in Saint-Nazaire, to conceptualize the design of the publication based on my experience of being immersed in the project.
This release was made possible with support from Lebeau et Associes (Paris), Herezie (Paris), Mona Films (Paris) and La Muse en Circuit (Paris). Unsounds, 2016
