« Hitotsumatsu ikuyo ka henuru fuku kaze no
oto no kiyoki wa tashi fukami kamo »

« Ce pin solitaire, combien de siècles a-t-il vécus ?
Le vent qu'on y entend est si pur qu'il suggère la profondeur du temps. »
Ichihara No Ôkimi, 6ème siècle

A walk in the forest (experimental concert recording) —

Originally, a concert solo in Bendigo (Australia) in 2010, invited by Nate Bates / Liquid architecture

I decided, eight years after, to organise, in a forest, in France — with the help of two big bass amplifiers — an experimental recording of this solo concert (originally recorded in stereo) : a walk in the forest around a large stereo diffusion, wich was diffused at a very big volume ; during alll the recording, i was walking at about 150/500 meters from the speakers…

Into the wild…

------------------


Lionel Marchetti is a French composer of concrete music
an improviser (electronics, various analogic systems with modified speakers, REVOX reel-to-reel recorder…)
as well as a visual-sound artist, a writer and a poet

Whether his music is composed or improvised
the body has an important role (Lionel Marchetti danced with the university company Relyanse between 1986 and 1991)

To define his music, one can borrow Kenneth White’s saying :

« Concrete or abstract ?
I like abstraction where a memory of substance remains, concrete refined on the frontiers of emptiness. »
