Random sound poem nr. 3: Poème à clics (2017-2022)
Translation of the title: Poem with clicks
computer with Pure Data and stereo sound system, aleatory duration between 5’ and 10’
The series of Random sound poems
will include about a dozen pieces, in process of production, some in electroacoustic form, others uniting technology and performance.
The sound poem is generated in the moment of its diffusion based on an algorithm and random functions. As a consequence,
there cannot exist two identical versions of a same piece. What will characterize each one will be the process of entering and getting out of the different
voices, their overlapping, as well as the vocal sound repertory of the piece, composed of words or sounds selected and distributed with intervention of chance.
The essence of these pieces resides in its ephemere character, always renewed.
The recordings of these pieces are only fragmentary.
Poème à clics, third of the Random sound
poems series, is built from a collection of clicks of African languages which use them as significant and differentiating elements.
This collection is read at random, forming and deforming sound sequences. Several voices at a time: random poetic polyphony.
The work must use the collection of clicks attached to the Pure Data programming.
