Interférence (String Network) is a 20-minute audiovisual performance that explores the possibilities of embodying an electroacoustic work in real time through gestural interaction with a unique device. On stage, an audioreactive play of light unfolds gradually: Alexis Langevin-Tétrault builds a network of strings and captors with which he interacts to generate lighting and create a sound universe between industrial noise, electronica and acousmatic music.
Through the staging of corporality and the dialectical relationship between human and machine, Interférence (String Network) presents an allegory of the globalized and interconnected modern world in which the individual seeks to derive meaning from his experience and attempts to preserve his freedom of action.
Composer and musician from the post-rock, acousmatic and electronic scenes, Alexis Langevin-Tétrault proposes a singular brutalist universe and infuses a dynamic of live music to a musical genre rarely incarnated by performance.
