Using friction for one, and breath for the other, Pascal Battus and Laurent Bigot construct music by confronting abandoned objects with their respective devices.
Pascal plays with rotating surfaces: a plate set in motion by an electric motor on which vibrators and resonators such as paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, wood, polystyrene, cymbals, etc…
Laurent uses a small compressor and a “mixer” with taps as potentiometers, which allow air flows to be generated and dosed. Various objects are set into resonance, movements or minute vibrations by these air sources.
Materials, exposed to friction or breath, reveal unexpected and incredible sound possibilities.
Pascal and Laurent play from their discoveries, but also from chance emanating from this pseudo-violin making essentially made up of cupboard bottoms, drawer bottoms, even waste!
