Fractures Chimiques - ON/OFF est issue d’une performance audiovisuelle alliant projection 16mm et musique électronique réactive. À l’aide d’un dispositif de capteurs fixé directement sur l’écran, l’information lumineuse qui s’échappe des projecteurs est récoltée et réacheminée vers des synthétiseurs modulaires. Il s’agit du premier film d’une série sur les relations entre musique et cinéma dans des contextes performatifs.
Fractures Chimiques – ON/OFF is the result of an audiovisual performance combining 16mm projection and reactive electronic music. Using a sensor device attached directly to the screen, the light information escaping from the projectors is collected and transferred to modular synthesizers which generate the film’s live soundtrack. Fractures Chimiques – ON/OFF is the first film of a series of experiments on the relationship between music and film in performative contexts.
Charles-André Coderre vit et travaille à Montréal. Il réalise des films et travaille sur des projections 16mm en direct pour plusieurs performances et concerts de musique. Ses films sont distribués par Light Cone (Paris), CFMDC (Toronto) et Vidéographe (Montréal). Depuis 2017, il co-organise les évènements de musique expérimentale et cinéma élargi OK LÀ!, à Verdun (Canada).
Seulement is the solo project of Montreal-based electronic musician and audiovisual artist Mathieu Arsenault. His work investigates the imperfections of the human voice and body in an era of technological perfection. Seulement assembles angular structures where the natural and artificial become entangled. His first album EX PO invests the improbable connection between experimental electronic music and more traditional songwriting. In a process more akin to sculpting than storytelling, Seulement offers a modern take on the use of the human voice and body in an audiovisual framework anchored both in lyricism and structuralism.
Aside from Seulement, Mathieu Arsenault was first known as the frontman of experimental rock band Technical Kidman with whom he released two albums and two EPs. Apart from strictly musical projects, he also investigates the relationship between sound and images through his various collaborations with filmmaker Charles-André Coderre (Jerusalem in my Heart, OK LÀ festival) and multidisciplinary artist Véro Marengère. He also regularly writes music for danse pieces. With his various projects, Arsenault performed in many festivals across Europe and North America including: Mutek Montreal, International Film Festival Rotterdam, Sound/Image (London UK), Iceland Airwaves, Nouvelle Prague, Suoni Per Il Popolo (Montreal), Wavelength (Toronto) and many more.
