(1)La Poêle avec Anne-Françoise Jacques 

Hélène Prévost/automne/fall 2014

No title for the moment

-Performance/installation

for a number of headphones. (25-30)

and small speakers

NOTES DE TRAVAIL

-Live mix of different sound sources

prerecorded & live

A play on the perception of space : background, foreground. Hi & low.

Of timbre : though the diffusion of the soundsources in the different support (headphones and speakers, with their qualities and distorsions)

Creation of a non-stereophonic object.

A presence in space.

The diffusion (character, levels, EQ, etc) is « tuned » and adjusted to the place.

-Ideally, if I could make tests 2 days before or at another moment in time,it would be great

(and necessary)

+Anne-Françoise Jacques installation et performance

-The diffusion may be done on and from the floor.

*Everything would be installed on the floor. I would install, spread, the headphones around me and the mixing board. And the different sound devices.

(see pictures of test)

*People could also be sitting on the floor, among the headphones.

Or on chairs not to far away.

*Some headphones could also be installed on the wall.

(see pictures in performance)

Both situations could also be possible, without difficulties.

This is where the « tuning » of the room/space comes in.

-Can be fairly loud; also very soft.

-Duration : 35-40 minutes
